274914 - Importing IE favorites should preserve the display order

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[jim walden]

Not actually a bug, but feedback from someone who is a regular FireFox user.  My
son Jeff is working on the help modules for you, and has me hooked.

At work I just upgraded from 0.8 to 1.0 on my laptop.  GM requires IE to be the
default browser there.  I imported my bookmarks from IE with no problem, but it
really ticks me off that FireFox automatically alphebetizes the entire list. 
Rather than having folders at the top and some bookmarks in a logical order, I
got bookmarks and folders all mixed up in alphabetical order.  It will take me
an hour to rearrange them in the order that I prefer.

Second item, during setup I specifically did not check the box to make FireFox
my home page.  When it first opened, my carryover Yahoo home page did not appear
as expected.

In the bookmarks manager, select View->Unsorted.

Marking WFM.

For the other issue, please enter it as bug report for itself (so that there is
only one issue per bug report).

Jim,

The second item in your report was cause by bug 252546, which removed the
importing of the IE home page. See
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=104379 for some discussion on that
topic.

In the future, try to limit bug reports to a single issue. I will modify this
bug's summary so that it addresses the first item of your report.
