222335 - Firebird should leave Seamonkey Groupmarks (FOLDER_GROUP attribute) untouched

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Stefan Borggraefe]

I want to use the same bookmarks.html file with both Seamonkey and Firebird.
This works quite good with one exception: Firebird removes the
FOLDER_GROUP-attribute from the Bookmarks so all Groupmarks are lost after using
Firebird.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Point both Firebird and Seamonkey to the same bookmarks.html (using the pref
browser.bookmarks.file)
2. Run Seamonkey and create a Groupmark.
3. Quit Seamonkey and run Firebird.
4. Quit Firebird and run Seamonkey.

Result:
The Groupmark is converted to a normal folder because Firebird removed the
FOLDER_GROUP attribute.

Expected result:
Leave this attribute untouched for better interoperability between both
mozilla.org-Products.

There are now even more divergences: if you create a profile in Firebird, you
won't see the bookmarks in the personal toolbar in seamonkey.
-> won't fix.
