Internet Explorer 7 has been very unstable lately on my computer. My favorites list is a mile long and my RSS feeds list is even longer. A permanent IE crash would be disastrous if I lost them.
I tried all the IE troubleshooting tips posted on multiple sites with no luck in preventing the hangups, the incredibly long loading time, and the numerous crashes. The only thing left to try was to reload it.
Instead I loaded Firefox on the advice of many. It was good advice. If, like me, you spend a lot of time needing a fast browser, you might try Firefox.
It sucked in my favorites lists without a glitch and by adding an add-in, it imported and organized my RSS feeds list.
I am very happy and living in the land of the legions of Firefox add-ins to try.
If you are an IE lover and have no problems with it, GOOD. I was happy with it for quite a few years as well. But just to be safe, you might want to export your favorites lists and feeds list to a hard copy file.....just in case.
