233408 - Migrating Old URL History Data to Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 17091

Before there was a Mozilla, I began exploring large websites (e.g., NASA) using
Netscape Communicator 4.79.  To have NC remember what links I already visited, I
set the history value to 999 days.  This setup has worked very well for me,
except that I would now like to use Moz instead, picking up with Moz where I
leave off with NC.

To that end, I would like a migration tool that would enable the NC history data
(NETSCAPE.HST file?) to be transferred to a Mozilla profile such that I could
continue to explore such sites with Moz, picking up where I left off with NC
4.79.  The tool should be smart enough to sniff out all existing NC profiles and
flexible enough to allow selection of the specific NC 4.79 profile to be
migrated to Moz, and allow for the data to be created in either a new Moz
profile or folded into an existing one.

If there exists already a way of accomplishing the above, I would greatly
appreciate a pointer to the method.  Thank you.
