179403 - Export Mozilla bookmarks to Internet Explorer Favorites

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

In the favorites menu of the Mozilla browser you can choose in tools menu
"export" and "import". But the only format one can select is the "html". When I
want to exchange new bookmarks from Mozilla to Internet Explorer I have to
launch the import/export-assistent of the MS-Internet Explorer ! (I work with ie
6.0)

Reproducible: Always

Rainer, Mozilla can import from IE bookmarks, but it is missing the UI to do so
(bug 59636).

I would appreciate this too... I could access my favorite sites from the Start
menu or check a URL without launching the browser (because IE favourites are
shortcuts), and it would also make it easier to manage bookmarks -- because they
are shortcuts, you can manipulate them just like files: selecting multiples for
deletion or move into a new folder is nice!

Adding myself to CC because I have an interest -- if anyone is opposed, remove me.
