268772 - Import dialog comes up blank when there's nothing to import

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 267630

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Daniel Rogers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1

I just installed Fedora Core 3, which now includes Firefox (1.0PR) instead of
Mozilla.

I did my install on a new drive, and left my old drive in the system so I could
copy stuff at my leisure.

I wanted to import my old bookmarks and whatnot from Mozilla, so I went to
File->Import.  However, as you can see from the attached file, the import dialog
came up blank, but the "Next" button was clickable (clicking it did nothing,
however).

I surmised that this was because I hadn't copied my .mozilla directory from my
old home directory to my new one.  And, indeed, once I did copy it over, it
imported fine.

As it's probably not a great idea to make people guess about the blank window,
I'd suggest one of two things:

Tell people there's nothing to import.
and/or
If you can't find anything, ask where to look for the old settings.
