Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ed Parker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

I found after upgrading (I guess it's an upgrade when you go backward?) from 1.8
alpha2 to 1.7.2, any bookmarks that contained an apostrophe in the name, such as
Sharon's Place got converted to Sharon's Place.  Two other bookmarks came
out with >> in the file name but they were seldom used and don't remember
what the original name was. 

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run mozilla-win32-1.7.2-installer.exe and then look at bookmarks.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Bookmark names were altered.

Expected Results:  
Copied the bookmark names.

It's called downgrading, and there's nothing (I know) we could do to prevent
that, apart from changing 1.7, which has been rejected by drivers. WONTFIX
