However, some of my IE bookmarks do appear under SmartFind queries. When I restart Mozilla, Imported IE Favorites doesn't even display (Empty) and the IE favourites that previously appeared under SmartFind queries are no longer there. I'm logged in as Administrator so permissions shouldn't be a problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Me too. I am using Win98se and XP-SP1 and Mozilla 1.2b on both. Maybe it's the weird location of the IE favorites folder. On my Win98se network the favorites folder is on a network drive (n:\mywork\appdata\favorite) and on my c: drive on my XP PC (c:\documents and settings\"user"\favorites). I re-installed Mozilla 1.1 and the imported favourites appeared. Problem with 1.2b I think. Sorry if I am missing something obvious. I am a newbie Mozilla user. Like what I see so far.

How to reproduce: 1. Create new profile. 2. Start Mozilla, no IE Favorites. So when 1.2 is released this will affect mainly new users to Mozilla.
here is a workaround, what do you think of it ? as I see things, importing bookmarks is a one time static operation, I mean if I have imported IE's bookmarks, and if I add one in IE, I won't see it appear in Mozilla unless I redo an importation. => here is what I usually tell people (on usenet for instance) : 1/ go in IE, export the bookmarks to file bm.htm 2/ go in Mozilla, import the bookmarks from same file I never heard anyone complain about the hardness of this way of doing things, maybe it is enough for end-users, and maybe removing this "import from IE" feature could be a good idea ?

What about those of us who never use IE and don't want to have to delete their imported bookmarks each time we upgrade Mozilla versions? At the very least, the user should be asked at the time of install about importing bookmarks from other programs -- it shouldn't be a default action.

I think that this is an important feature for windows users who may switch back and forth between IE and Mozilla. <gasp.> Also, how does the inability to import affect the actual C:\WINDOWS\Favorites directory. Can we narrow this down to specific versions of IE? Or is this a Mozilla regression?

the regression has been introduced by rjc's checking preventing in same cases to assert a resource that is not in the BookmarksRoot hierarchy. IE import fails because it relies on CreateFolderInContainer that first creates a folder (calling CreateFolder) and then make it a child of the container. This patch do what Phoenix does, though I have no windows build so it would be good to test it. Ben is there a valid technical reason to prevent assertion on isolated resource?

This looks like a pretty small change to fix a pretty big regression. If it gets an sr in the next day or two it could make 1.3beta.

This problem is also present in the Mac OS X build. The problem described in Bug 190867 is identical to the one in Bug 192164

Will this make it before 1.4a? This is fairly high-profile for my branded projects.

This issue has been fixed in the 2003-03-26-08 Win32 build but still occurs in the Mach0 (2003-03-25-03) trunk build using a new profile. I will check in the next Macho build to see if this has been fixed.

I delted ver 2003040105, then deleted the profiles, then the mozilla.org directory. After reinstalling, it imported the favorites correctly

I just installed Mozilla 1.4a (Build: 2003040105) and it still does NOT import my IE Favorites. I'm running Windows XP, IE 6

If you have not also created a new profile, then I believe that is expected.

In Firefox, it still reproduces. bookmark of IE is not import when it starts in the state where there is no Profile. By the manual, it can import normally in "File --> Import" of bookmanager.
