Steps to Reproduce:
Steps:
1. Locate and load a copy of Opera 7.0 onto any workstation
2. Within Opera and within the address bar type what is between the brackets [a:]
3. Bookmark this drive letter
4. Install/Re-install Fire Fox 1.0. Choose the option of importing book marks

- Solution to this problem 
   * Manually delete the mapped [A] drive from bookmarks and any subsequent
drives Fire Fox may have imported and can not read.


Actual Results:  
A dialogue panel is displayed on the screen:
 There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\Dr1



Expected Results:  
If the application comes across a mapped drive when importing:
1. Display a dialogue to this affect
2. Drive letters from Opera or any other software will not be imported into FireFox.


Because the application does fully state the issue at hand. Any subsequent
actions within FireFox such as changing setting will re-introduce the bug.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
