254383 - Importing IE settings causes crash [@ kernel32.dll - nsIEProfileMigrator::CopyFormData ]

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 248215

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Robert Hancock]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

When attempting to import all data from Internet Explorer, Firefox sat there 
doing something for about 2-3 minutes using 100% CPU time, then finally 
crashed. See Talkback incident 486259. Trying it again with just the form data 
selected causes it to crash immediately.

Several recent versions (20040803 nightly and 0.9.2) have failed to import in 
slightly different ways on my system - there seems to be some whack-a-mole 
going on with the bugs with stack traces looking like this (COM errors) in the 
IE importer..

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import stored form data from Internet Explorer
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
Import form data successfully

0.9.3 is basicly the same as 0.9, please test this with a latest aviary branch build
