    Hi, Neil Jones

    Thanks for this and I will file it away. I don't use my Google account and although this looks good I need to use Google to transfer across. I will give it a lot of thought and appreciate your help.

    You don't need a Google account to transfer bookmarks...

    I get the same message all the time. I then check task manager whch shows Firefox is using humungous amounts of memory, and the only solution is to shut it down and restart it. I don't believe a single web page is to blame, and if it were, it would be nice if Firefox would tell me which one. I tend to surf with lots of open tabs, but increasingly I find the devices I use (mainly a variety W7 PCs/ W7 laptop and an Android tablet (which of course uses Chrome not Firefox) just can't cope with that the way they used to.

    I've been experiencing similar with FF. This morning after visiting FF help pages and trying the "refresh FF" option things appear to have returned to normal.
