importing firefox bookmarks to edge

To import bookmarks from Firefox (or Chrome) to Microsoft Edge, you will have to use Internet Explorer:

• Open the web browser you wish to export bookmarks from, and export your bookmarks to an HTML file.
  • In Firefox, press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+, click Import and Backup ->
    Export Bookmarks to HTML...
    [*]In Chrome, press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[O], click Organize ->
    Export bookmarks to HTML file...
    
  
  
  [*]Close Firefox/Chrome.
  [*]Open Internet Explorer (click Start, type "iexplore", and press [Enter]).
  
  [*]Press [Alt]+[C], click the dropdown next to "Add to favorites", and click
  Import and export...
  [*]Choose Import from a file and click [Next].
  [*]Follow the wizard and point it to the HTML file you saved in step 1.
  [*]Close Internet Explorer and open Microsoft Edge.
  [*]Click the Hub (three lines) toolbar icon and click the (dim)
  Import favorites link.
  [*]Choose to import your favorites from Internet Explorer, and click [Import].
  

That said, at this time my recommendation would be to stay with Firefox unless you're having problems with it stuttering/freezing on script intensive sites like Amazon. Firefox is currently the worlds fastest web browser (scoring just above Chrome but
about twice as high as Edge according to
FutureMark), and it supports more technologies than Edge. And if Microsoft's past record on security with IE continues, Firefox is a much safer choice too. Mozilla usually
patches most zero-day vulnerabilities in days after discovery compared to Microsoft's historical months or even years. Not to mention that Firefox uses ClearType font rendering which is easier to read (if tuned correctly—Search -> "clear" -> click
Adjust ClearType text) and is less choppy looking than Edge's Windows 9x/ME grayscale anti-aliasing font rendering.

Chrome and Firefox not opening after Windows update.

Somehow chrome & firefox have appeared in the list of forbidden aplications in family panel of Microsoft account.

That's why these apps were closing just after you have opened them.

Removing chrome & firefox from that list solves the problem.

Have a nice day.
