John Favorites(Bookmarks) in Firefox don't really take up any room 
compared to IE's way of saving them. In IE it makes a file for each, and 
in Firefox it has one file for all of them. If your not going to use IE 
just delete the bookmarks. Of course there are a few that will probably 
return, I think I recall.
I haven't used IE in years.
I also use my Gmail account to save my bookmarks in Firefox. This way I 
can recover them should something happen. It is accomplished using the 
Firefox Add-on "GMarks".
