My Internet explorer always hangs up , i go and use Mozzilla and it works fine so i know its Internet explorer , i would just use Mozzilla but its missing my favorite feature about Internet explorer (which is its extremely easy to organize or backup my favorites)
Any known problems or fixes?

P.s the way i backup or organize using Internet Explorer is go to START / USER FOLDER / FAVORITES
and then you can organize or back up your favorites just like you would with any other files that are in folders , you cant do this with Mozilla.

I've run into the backup(or lack thereof) problem with Firefox too, but it's not a big enough thing to keep me from using it. There's got to be a way to do it, I just haven't looked for it yet.

I think IE crashes because.. it's an Explorer! Maybe if they'd named it Internet Astro...

Yea , a guy showed me how to back up with Firefox but it backs them up as one big file , and then its harder to keep your favorites organized!

In Firefox, go to Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks to bring up the bookmarks manager and there is the import/backup button.
But it does'nt work near as good as being able to backup and organize in the Favorites folder using internet explorer

Crazy browser is tab based and stable. Used it for a few years now. Recently I've been using google chrome. It's nice but it'll lock up your whole system sometimes when using the back button to quickly on slow loading heavy graphic pages. But I still like it. They both work fine with favorites and you can import them from IE.
I've played with Mozzila and Firefox, din't really like either.

To import bookmarks from IE to Firefox:

Firefox 3.0.15 :
Bookmarks, organize,import and backup, import HTML, from IE

I'd imagine other versions should be similar.
