170869 - auto-imported ie favorites (on every restart) do not resolve.

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Mohamed Elzakzoki]

adding the following line to your perfs.js or user.js will make mozilla auto-import ie favorites every time u start it.

user_pref("browser.bookmarks.import_system_favorites", true);

this works fine in mozilla 1.2a, however in phoenix the favorites are auto imported on each restart fine but they do not resolve when clicking on them. actually it seems like nothing happens at all when clicking them.

i am using the following phoenix nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020924 Phoenix/0.1

user_pref("browser.bookmarks.import_system_favorites", true)
aka dynamic linking will not be supported. Though, the ability to re-import is
planned.

any reason why this been marked as wontfix?

i am sure i am not the only one that uses mozilla & ie at the same time. and find that prefs setting useful.

also of intrest, using SmartFind Queries the auto-imported/dynamic linked  bookmarks work just fine...

some reasons: the dynamic linking is buggy and was a bad idea since the beginning:
you can not drag, remove, edit these bookmarks.
In addition, we plan to make Phoenix your default browser :)
