A quick introduction to the File menu in Mozilla Firefox!!!!- III
The File menu of Mozilla Firefox; apart from the open, save and print function; offers the import function to the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application. This is a very important feature of the Firefox web browsing software application. This feature enables the end user to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer. As all end users who have installed the Firefox web browsing software application would know, the Firefox web browser offers the option of importing bookmarks from the Internet Explorer web browsing software application’s Favorites feature. This offer is given by the Firefox web browser to the end user at the time of installation of the Firefox web browser. However, the option of importing bookmarks from Internet Explorer to the Firefox web browsing software application can be exercised by the end user of the Firefox web browsing software application even after the installation process of the Firefox web browser has been completed. This can be done by the end user of the Firefox web browsing software application by making use of the ‘import’ function in the Firefox web browsing software application. Once this function is clicked, the end user will see a window where he is asked whether he or she wants to import bookmarks and other data from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. It is pertinent to note that the import feature in the Firefox web browsing software application is not restricted to mere bookmarks alone. While there is no doubt that the facility to import bookmarks is a very useful one, there does exist other data that the end user of the Firefox web browsing software application may want to import from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. For starters, the end user may want to import cookies from the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer to the Firefox web browsing software application.
Recognizing this requirement of the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application, the developers offer the option of importing the following data from the Internet Explorer web browsing software application- Internet Options, Cookies, Browsing History, Saved Form History, Saved Passwords, Favorites. The option of importing Internet Options from the Internet Explorer web browsing software application to the Firefox web browsing software application is a very interesting one. More often than not, the end users of web browsing software application underestimate the extent to which the Internet options in the web browsing software application influence the web browsing experience of the end users. An intelligent end user of the Firefox web browsing software application should recognize the potential impact of the internet options as configured by the end user on his or her web browsing experience. Hence, if you have not configured the options of the Firefox web browsing software application by yourself, it is advisable to import the same from the Internet Explorer web browser. Of course, if you have never used any other web browser before, it does not make sense to import settings from the Internet Explorer web browser installed in your computer. It would make more sense to give the options of the Firefox web browser a look over and configure them manually.
If you have used the Internet Explorer web browser and if you are switching over to the Firefox web browsing software application, it makes a lot of sense to not just import the bookmarks but also the internet options, cookies, web browsing history, saved passwords, saved form history as well. This will ensure that your web browsing experience does not change one bit despite the fact that you have switched from one web browser to another. That is the best part with switching to Mozilla Firefox.
