Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

When I first want to go to the internet, I click on 'Start', then 'Favorites' but find that they do not include all favorites on Firefox. So instead of a fast start, I have to load Firefox before I can find the favorite I want?
How am I supposed to synchronise XP favorites with Firefox favorites?????


Reproducible: Always

Windows uses Internet Explorer favorites, and does not allow other browsers to add there, unless we add to IE favorites, that is not something we want to do, for obvious reasons.
You can probably extract your bookmarks to html format from Library and import them in IE, then they will appear, but this is not a bug we can fix on our side, sorry.
