Favorites Folder: Strictly For IE8?

Hello all:
Regarding the directory "C:\Users\*username*\Favorites", is this folder strictly for IE8? I would love it if it supports Firefox.

So, IE8 only? If so I'm putting that sucker into hidden mode. :)

Any help/suggestions, etc are very much appreciated!

I use this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/668, you can add bookmarks to your IE favorites this way.

I appreciate the link, but you misunderstood my question. I am talking about the folder. I do not ever use IE8. I would like to see my Firefox favorites in that folder, and the ability to access them via Firefox, not IE8.

Your home must be very clean. :)

Given that Firefox now stores its bookmarks in an SQL-Lite database table, it would be impractical and less efficient to store Firefox bookmarks in file format all the way over in IE's Favorites folder, especially for those users who never use IE.

I say ignore that folder, or if you really have to go ahead and hide it.

And for those who do use both browsers, IMO the Xmarks extension is a much better way to synchronize bookmarks with favorites across browsers.

I'm sorry that these people don't seem to be able to answer your question
directly. Yes, that folder is for IE only.

That was unnecessarily rude.

Yes, my home is pretty immaculate. My idea of a mess is an overturned shoe.:)

I'll just go ahead and hide that folder. Thanks for the explanation!

Also, I agree with you on Xmarks. I couldn't live without it!

Thanks again!

Hmm. For some reason it's not letting me hid it. Any ideas? Delete it? (I don't think that's a good idea, but I could be wrong)

What Favorites folder are you hiding? As a test I just hid the Favorites folder under my logged-in ID.

Definitely don't recommend deleting it.
