69239 - IE Favorites truncated due to weird mutiple "." behavior

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53152

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Mike Jaques]

When a period is involved in an imported IE Favorite, the imported list is
truncated from that point on.  This was sort of resolved in an earlier bug, but
I have always noticed some strangeness even since.  I narrowed it down to a
testcase from a URL I had bookmarked in IE that was causing the problem.

Ack, sorry about not finishing this all in one post, When an IE Favorite ends in
a "."   the file name it is assigned is  "filename..url"    which seems to be
giving the IE importer on mozilla a fit.  I cant even upload a testcase cause it
gives me an error using mozilla, I might try after using IE to see if I can
upload a minimal testcase that leads to the original URL that caused the
truncation on my Faves tree.

vrfy dupe of bug 53152 filenames containing '..' or ending w/ '.' stop the 
directory enumerator (can affect imported favorites)
