I've only been using FF for few years. I have never created a filter of my own. (I have IDD... Imagination Deficit Disorder.)
Lately, a LOT of filter are finding their way into the 'My Filters'. How is this happening? Are these duplicates of filters in other categories? Can I safely delete them without deleting them completely from my installation of FF?
TIA

There are 3 kinds of filters that can be found in your 'My filters' folder:
1) Filters you made yourself
2) Filters you have downloaded from the forum or anywhere else except the library.
3) Filters that were in the library, and were deleted from it by the author.
the reason you have alot of filters migrating 'My filters' folder, is because several of the old timers have decided to remove some of their FF1 filters that they think are no longer needed.
Note: If you delete there filters, you will NEVER be able to download them again!
