Details

First: I saw this bug first without having touched my pref.js file before.

Again: This bug concerns the _references_ to the System-Bookmarks of Windows not
the static _imported_ Favorites. You can simulate/reproduce it by this steps:
1. Menu > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks... 
2. Remove "Imported IE Favorites" folder
3. Exit Mozilla
4. Open "prefs.js" in your "...\Mozilla\Profiles\Default\foo42.slt" folder
5. Add or change the bookmark prefs to the following values:
   user_pref("browser.bookmarks.added_static_root", true);
   user_pref("browser.bookmarks.import_system_favorites", true);
   user_pref("browser.bookmarks.show_static_system_bookmarks", true);
6. Start Mozilla again
7. Menu > Bookmarks > Imported IE Favorites > Select any bookmark you like below
8. You get an output like this:
   [DEFAULT]
   BASEURL=http://www.heise.de/
   [InternetShortcut]
   URL=http://www.heise.de/
   Modified=B0F3A3C537CBC001CE
   IconFile=X:\Data\images\WinIcons\heise.ico
   IconIndex=0

Same happens in the latest builds like >2002052906 which comes with a near final
Browserstring:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529"

And think: Netscape 6 users - I know this is not a main term - would like to use
this feature in the near Netscape 7 and will be surprised having this feature in
a broken status. :-/
Depends on: 143250
Priority: -- → P1
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla1.0
BTW: Until nightly Build 20020507xx it worked. :-/
why depends on bug 143250? this _is_ bug 143250 (or a dup), or?
Please don't change the target and priority unless you are the assignee
