It already imports the bookmarks easily, what else do you want to get from a
Camino profile? UserCSS etc.: if a user know how to adjust these, she/he will
know how to move these over...

Probably mostly just the bookmarks. But the thing is, currently the user ends up thinking that even that is not possible. Since the bookmarks from other browsers are imported through the profile migrator, why doesn't it work the same way with Camino? I was left with the impression that importing Camino's bookmarks isn't supported at all before I read your post, becuse I had no idea that there are two different ways for importing bookmarks depending on what browser is in question. And actually, I still don't know! I just tried importing the bookmarks from Camino to Firefox and I still couldn't figure out how. Could you please explain where the "import Camino bookmarks" button is, if it really is as "easy" as you say?

I don't consider the lack of an option easy (see attachment), but someone's suggesting Safari will import them, then Firefox can import them from Safari, but that isn't really a good solution.

Safari and IE as the only two options, heh.  I think they're not the ones we'd want to encourage users to move their browser life to.

s/to/from.  As in, Camino users (and others) will outnumber IE users looking to switch these days.  Oops.

closing, we don't plan to support any existing browser on the earth, and surely don't need a bug unowned from 8 years.
If anyone actually wants to write a migrator can reopen the bug attaching a patch.
