Windows 10: Edge/ Favorites

Hi all.

I believe there was a major Win 10 update recently; I now have Win 10, Version # 1809; OS Build 17763.195

Here's something I noticed in the Edge browser: When I click on my Favorites (and I have a lot; a long list to scroll through), scroll through my list, and then click/ select one, and it goes to that page.....if I go back to Favorites, the "list" is not at the place where I last stopped to select my previous Favorite; the "list" is now back of the beginning/ top of the list (they're listed alphabetically).

Am I describing this accurately? Before, when I would select the Favorites icon near the top right-hand side of the Edge browser and select one of my Favorites from the list, when I would go back to the Favorites list, it was where I had left off (partially scrolled through the list); now the Favorites list is going back to the top of the list.

Any ideas or help?

Thanks,


:)

Favorites from Firefox to Favorites BAR in Edge


I recently upgraded to Win 10 64 and have decided that I am going to use Edge as my default browser. I have followed the directions on 2 websites now that tell how to transfer favorites from Firefox to Edge and seem to have hit a little snag. I am trying to transfer my favorites but every time I complete the steps, it takes my favorites and puts them in my favorites bar. I have a whole list of pages on my favorites bar in Firefox that I want to use for my favorites bar on edge. Why is the program turning my favorites from Firefox into my favorites BAR on edge? How do I transfer my favorites from Firefox into favorites on Edge and my favorites BAR in Firefox into my favorites BAR in edge? Thank you in advance for your help.
