How to Send Favorites From AOL to Verizon

Most Web browsers make sending and receiving your favorites (website bookmarks) from one browser to another browser a cinch. Simply export your bookmarks to an HTML file saved on your computer, then import the HTML bookmark file saved on your computer into an alternate Web browser. AOL is different, however. When you use the export feature on an AOL Web browser, the bookmark file saved to your computer is in AOL's PFC (Personal File Cabinet) format. Before you can import an AOL bookmark file to another Web browser, you have to convert it to HTML format.
