    I just got your message in my gmail account, so apparently It's set to receive notifications but I'll check RE your suggestion. Thanks for your assistance. Now if I could find my folders I'd be all set.

  3. Having Favorites pinned to the screen and showing, keep poking around in Settings. They're there somewhere.

    How do I export my folders from Firefox to MS Edge

    I've looked from top to bottom and not only could I not find the Firefox folders but the folders that I spent hours setting up are gone too. Very puzzling indeed.

    I found them! Someone told me to "poke" around in settings, which I did and all folders (Firefox and my other Edge folders) appeared. Thanks guys...my day is made.

  7. I told you. But no, you wouldn't believe me. LOL *Roflmao2

    Glad you got them. Now back them up some place safe.

    This won't prevent you loosing them again, but it will put them some place safe. This is a line out of a batch file I regularly run to "backup" the favorites:

    XCopy "C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\Use r\De fault\DataStore\*.*" "E:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\Use r\De fault\DataStore\*.*" /v/s/m/y


    You can modify the path to suit your system. The command does have to all be on one line. Heck put them on a flash drive if nothing else. Hope this offers some use.

    How do I export my folders from Firefox to MS Edge

    in snipping tool, select delay (3 seconds will do) and then you have 3 sec to click on list, when snipping tool becomes active, list will stay

    favorites folders are in "Favorites menu"... click on that star and select favorites (you have history and downloads there also).

  9. Great you got your folders.

    Thought I would comment on Notifications. Every so often I've noticed that I don't get a notification so as to not miss any I click on Settings (heading at the top of the tenforum page beside logout). Any thread you are active on that has had an update will be listed at the top of this page.

    I also notice that on some threads I get multiple notifications where you are only supposed to get one and no further notifications until you return to the thread.

    I identified this but we thought it might just be my mail system. Seems it is wider spread.
