When I try to import my bookmarks from Internet Explorer 5 on my Mac, using an
HTML file, nothing happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to "Bookmarks"
2.  Select "Manage Bookmarks"
3.  Go to "File"
4.  Select "Import"
5.  Select the file to be imported (mine was "bookmarks.html").
6.  Click "Open".
Actual Results:  
Absolutely nothing.

Expected Results:  
Phoenix should have imported the bookmarks from "bookmarks.html", and added all
the links and folders to Phoenix's "Bookmarks" menu.

I am having the same problem (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a)
Gecko/20030405 Phoenix/0.5). My bookmark file is not from IE5 for Mac, it's from
Mozilla 1.3 for Linux but I get the same (nonexistent) behavior.

This should be Mozilla bug. (After 20030402)
