How do I transfer my Internet browsers’ bookmarks (Internet Explorer and Firefox) from a Windows XP computer to a new computer with Windows 7?
Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox offer a few ways to transfer your bookmarks from one machine to another. For a manual approach, you can export the bookmarks to a file with the old browser to a USB drive, and then plug the drive into the new computer so you can import the bookmarks into the new browser. Mozilla has steps for Firefox here and Microsoft has instructions for the export/import process with Internet Explorer here.
You can also transfer bookmarks between computers with a syncing program. Mozilla’s own Firefox Sync is one option for its browser and there are others out there, like Xmarks. Since you are moving between Windows machines, Microsoft’s Windows Easy Transfer program can move bookmarks, as well as other settings.
