262418 - Importing bookmarks from file does not work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 259039

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Henry Story]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

I am using Camino and want to import my Camino bookmarks into firefox.
So I save my camino bookmarks in html and Safari formats on my desktop.
None of the ways I have tried work, and clearly seem broken.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

In Firefox if I choose File->Import from the menu the "Import Wizard" Opens and
asks me to Import Preferences, Bookmarks, History, ... from... but I don't get
any choice anymore. I have been using both firefox and camino, and have already
previously imported my bookmarks but would like to do so again, as I have been
using Camino more often recently... The "next" button is highlighted but I
cannot click it.

If I open the "manage bookmarks" window and use the File -> Import...
functionality, I get a "Import Wizard" that asks me to "import bookmarks from:"
with the only option being "From File". There is no place to enter a file name
anywhere on this window. If I select the option the window closes when I click
"next" without asking me which file, nor doing anything. If I don't select
anything the "next" button cannot be clicked.
