After install Mozilla imported Netscape 6 profile. When I launched Netscape 6 then all bookmarks were erased, the file was substituted with old one, which remained from Netscape 4.78
not installer. The installer ends just before mozilla or profile migration is started...

Can you clarify what happened a bit? > After install Mozilla imported Netscape 6 profile. Mozilla doesn't import NS6 profiles. They're used directly without any conversion. Did you mean to say Netscape 4 profile? When you launched Netscape 6 in the 2nd sentence, were you using a newly imported profile or the same one?
no respons from reporter -> INVALID Reporter, don't share profile between Netscape 6/7 and Mozilla
