Betty asks…
How would one export a folder within Firefox bookmarks to send as email?
Firefox allows bookmarks to be organized into folders. Does an extension, add-on, plug-in or other software exist that would allow me to export a folder within the Bookmark Toolbar parent folder so that I’m not divulging my entire bookmark library?
Michelle answers:
You need to search Firefox. New ones are added almost every day.

Michelle answers:
Open Firefox and click alt on your keyboard then a list of title menu’s come up on top of the Firefox window. Click Tools > Options > then General tab > change the homepage to either www.google.com or any other homepage and click OK then close and reopen Firefox.

How do I import bookmarks from mozilla firefox to the yahoo bookmarks?
When I have my firefox browser open and I click on import, the only option that is there is to import from Explorer. I don’t get it.
Michelle answers:
Import means to bring in. When you are clicking Import in Firefox you are trying to bring in bookmarks, Internet Explorer is the only other thing on your computer with bookmarks so it tries to Import them from there.
To get your Firefox bookmarks into your Yahoo! Bookmarks you need to first EXport them. At the top of a Firefox window click Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks, then click the “Import and Backup” button at the top of the new window followed by “Export HTML…” Save the file to your desktop so it’s easy to find.
Next log in to your Yahoo! Bookmarks at http://bookmarks.yahoo.com Once you’re in click the “Tools” link at top right then click the “Import Bookmarks” link. You’ve already done Step 1 so go to Step 2 and browse for the bookmarks.html file you just saved to your desktop. After that, in Step 3 select the Y! Bookmarks folder in which you wish to save all your bookmarks (if any), then click the Import button.
When the upload is done all of your Firefox bookmarks will now be in your Yahoo! Bookmarks.
Mandy asks…
Are there any ways Firefox can incorporate Google Chrome into its web browser?
Firefox has a tab called IE tab, that can allow you to view pages in IE format. Should Firefox do the same for Google Chrome? What ideas do you have?
Michelle answers:
I just downloaded Google Chrome a minute ago, and I immediately noticed a bit that pages load up faster on Google Chrome than on my Fire Fox 3 browser. Also it seems like Wikipedia supports that claim as well. Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised since Google is all about search engines–that the team would want to maximize browsing speed also.
Within a few months Google’s new browser (in beta stage currently) should really expand. I can’t say when it will dominate, but the browser is very simplistic and yet very efficient as well!
Furthermore I’ve noticed tabs are also different from FireFox as well, as they are more towards the top of the page, and they can also be more easily dragged as well for easier managing I’m really digging the style of it as well!
Also, to answer your question about Google Chrome incorporating FireFox features, I can answer that with a yes. When I first downloaded Google Chrome, it gave me a notice that it would save all my bookmarks and any saved passwords from FireFox. After trying out Google Chrome after installation, I can assure you it really does save it all!
FireFox still is my favorite browser for Windows, but Google’s Chrome Browser is really growing on me fast. I really can’t wait for the google team to build applications for Chrome–so it will really take off!
Also.. Just beware though, that Chrome might not be as secure as Fire Fox at the moment . Supposedly people can get phished easier on Chrome then on Fire Fox, and there are a couple of security bugs that need to get fixed. A patch should fix that very soon though.
I hope this answers your questions, I did the best I could (:
