click Cancel. Figure 3-3: The Import Wizard automatically finds and displays the browsers installed on your computer. 3. Select the information to import, and then click Next. Several options are available, as shown in Figure 3-4. The available options depend on the browser from which you are importing. Figure 3-4: Firefox can practically replicate your previous browser by importing everything from bookmarks to saved passwords. Internet Options: Transfer your former browser's settings to Firefox. Firefox can only transfer the settings it supports. Cookies: Transfer the cookies that are used in the other browser. A cookie is a piece of information that a Web site stores on your computer, such as your preferences for that site. Cookies make it easier for a site to remember you if you have visited it before. Browsing History: Transfer the history of Web pages you've visited. Transferring your history allows you to revisit the sites you visited with your former browser. Saved Form History: Transfer the form information collected by your former browser's form-filling mechanism. This way, you can get access to form information, such as Internet searches, that is saved in your other browser. Saved Passwords: Transfer passwords your former browser saved when you logged in to Web sites. Favorites/Bookmarks: Transfer your list of bookmarks (also called Favorites). By default, Firefox imports everything it can, but you can deselect any type. REMEMBER If you choose to import settings, Firefox will be configured as much like your former browser as possible. Naturally, Firefox can't support every setting available in another browser, but it inherits the ones it can. When you click Next, the import process begins. It should take less than a minute. 4. The final screen (see Figure 3-5) shows you the information that Firefox has imported. Congratulations! Click Finish to start using Firefox. Figure 3-5: It normally takes less than a minute to import your data. When you see this screen, you're ready to use Firefox. Tip You can make Firefox look even more like your old one by customizing the Firefox toolbars to match the other browser's toolbars, as I discuss in Chapter 18.             Switching from Internet Explorer The Windows version of Firefox is designed for an easy transition from Internet Explorer. It supports nearly all of the Internet Explorer 6.0 keyboard shortcuts and offers similar toolbars, menus, and colors. Keyboard shortcut differences There are just two minor keyboard shortcut differences to be aware of if you're switching from Internet Explorer, as you see in Table 3-1.
