[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2003.02.26.05 comm trunk bits on linux rh7.2. import fails when
imported bookmark file contains a groupmark. not sure if this is a known bug,
but i couldn't find one. dup or reassign as needed.

1. create and launch a new profile (for simplicity).
2. add a couple regular bookmarks (non-groupmarks).
3. open some tabs so that you have 2 or more tabs in the same browser window.
4. file the group of tabs --i also gave the groupmark a name, eg, "group1".
5. add some more bookmarks --regular ones should be fine. your bookmarks menu
should now consist of, in the following order:

  * the default bookmarks
  * some regular bookmarks
  * a groupmark, "group1"
  * some more bookmarks

6. open the manage bookmarks window (Ctrl+B).
7. select Tools - Export.
8. in the resulting file picker, save the file --i changed the name from
bookmarks.html to blah.html (which i'll attach soon).
9. select Tools - Import.
10. in the file picker, open blah.html to import it.
11. now look at the manage bookmarks window OR the Bookmarks main menu in the
browser window.

results: bookmark items *after* the groupmark failed to be imported.

looks fixed (2003.03.26.08, linux rh8.0), prolly due to varga's landing. :)

this also works for chris on win32 and mac. marking w4m.
