271319 - Does not import my personal bookmarks from Explorer

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[john-beck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Only the preset bookmarks from Explorer are copied to Firefox.  All of my
personal bookmarks are not imported and these are the ones I really want.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to import bookmarks from the File dropdown menu
2.Check bookmarks in Firefox against Explorer
3.Only find the preloaded bookmarks from Explorer

Actual Results:  
Only find the preloaded bookmarks from Explorer


Expected Results:  
I expected to find ALL my bookmarks especially my personal ones I attached so I
could make a seamless transition from Explorer.  I have so many bookmarks, I am
more likly to keep using Explorer rather than "re-invent the wheel" in Firefox
by adding my bookmarks one-by-one all over again.

I tried with IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0 and all the bookmarks from IE are imported
properly to Firefox.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
