Just wanted to confirm another case of this bug occuring on a FRESH install of
0.9rc. Unfortunately I can't provide any further information because it was as I
was walking someone through the process of installing Firefox remotely, and
don't have access to the computer.

The migration from Internet Explorer crashed on the install of 0.9rc and
additionally when chosen from the File menu.

He installed version 0.8 instead and it migrated without any errors.

Runtime Error message.

I am getting the same message with version 0.9.1.

I am having the same problem. The only files that give me the error are Saved
from History, Cookies and Saved Passwords though. Browsing History, Internet
Options and Favorites import without causing any trouble.

I am experiencing the same issue on a fresh installation on Windows 2000.  The
only difference is the runtime error is only generated when I attempt to import
'Browser Form History'.  All other components import without issue

I have also had this problem on Windows XP, both with Firefox 0.9.3 and with the
current 1.0PR version. Firefox crashes when I attempt to import Saved Form
History and/or Saved Passwords from Internet Explorer. All other items import
without problems.

I am having this problem with the import of Saved Passwords and Saved Form 
History, the others work.

This problem (either hanging, or crashing out on the import) has happened for 
me with EVERY version of Firefox I have tried.

Still not working for me in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) 
Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1. See talkback reports TB1083703X and TB1083566Y.

No longer crashes in Firefox 1.0 non-PR (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0). Instead, the usernames and
passwords that get imported are not the correct ones for the sites they are
imported for.
