I meant to reply to your message sooner but I didn't respond as quickly as
I intended.

I appreciate your reply.  Yes, different people have different ways of
using programs and features in programs and what works well for one person
may not work as well for another.  and at times, it's just a matter of
what someone gets used to.

I use both Internet Explorer and Firefox and one feature I like in firefox
that, as far as I know, Internet Explorer doesn't have, is the ability to
search favorites from within the browser.  So I can type a word that is in
the name of a favorite or the full name if I wish and very conveniently
and quickly see all favorites that match the search.  The results come
from all folders so I don't have to look through different folders.  For
example, I have three or four favorites for different parts of the NVDA
screen-reader site and by searching for NVDA, I can see them all together.
 this makes using favorites so easy that I don't do much organizing of
favorites.  It isn't nearly as important where favorites are or how they
are organized with the search feature available.  I do move a few
favorites I use constantly so that I can move to them in the same very
fast way I described in Internet Explorer but most favorites, which I have
as references or don't use often, I don't bother to organize or move.

If Internet Explorer has incorporated a search for favorites feature in
later versions of Internet Explorer, I haven't seen anything about it. 
Microsoft may have done this but I think I would have seen it mentioned in
reviews if it had been added.
