Puter getting very slow so have opened up new user account, much quicker now, but, how can I transfer all saved sites etc or do I have to go through them all one by one

Thanks

Oh and if it makes a difference, I use firefox

What account?

What operating system are you using?

What account?

What operating system are you using?

Account may not be the correct term, basically I've signed in as a guest not admin. Its windows 7 pro. Only use free anti virus and adblock with cc cleaner, worked fine for awhile but recently started to get slow to load pages etc so will now login as guest, just wondered if there was away of transfering my book marks

If you just want bookmarks then I'd suggest making use of Firefox's Sync feature (requires an account with them). If it's an up to date version of Firefox you should find Sync under the menu in the top right. Set this up under your old windows account first and wait for the sync to finish, then sign in to your new account on Windows and sign in to your Sync account on Firefox.

I use this myself so that bookmarks and history are shared between my home PC, work PC, laptop and mobile phone

  my computer
C drive

Yes in firefox you can transfer the book marks
Go bookmarks
show all bookmarks and the menue at the top of that box has a import/ backup section

[joebloggs]

I've copied all the bookmarks to the desktop but of course this is in one user profile and when I switch user its not available to import. Could possibly burn them on a disk and open the file in the new profile although I'm not keen on that after reading an article that suggests importing profiles etc can leave you with the same issues you had before and that even though it's slow it's possibly best to manually transfer your bookmarks

There's only about 200, wont take that long grrrrrrrrrr

Thanks

I'm old school, only have disks, take it I can use one of those, all empty.

Re the question I had re issues that may cause issue's with my new user profile, is that BS?
Thanks

Saved them to a disk and imported them in new profile, shame it didn't also import the unsorted as there were far more tbh but hey, its saved me a fair chunk of time

Thanks everyone
