User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Favorites Converter/1.0.1 | export

Added a new test bookmark and attemped to export to favorites list by clicking
on Bookmarks/Favorites Converter/Export. When I checked favorites, half of my
favorites normally listed were gone, and anything organized within a folder was
gone. The folders are still there but they are all empty. Favorites were NOT
backed up prior to testing since this is a 1.x relesae I thought it would work.
Need some way of getting my favorites back. They are currently only in the
Firefox bookmarks now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click bookmarks/favorites converter/export
2. Look at favorites folder.
3.

Actual Results:  
All favorites stored inside of folders were deleted

Expected Results:  
Bookmarks shouls have been synchronized with favorites, including folders.
