Build Identifier: Windows NT 5.0; Firefox/1.0.2

     As part of a planned clean install of my OS, I backed up all files
including my Firefox Bookmarks. After the install was completed, I began
re-installing applications, including Firefox. When I tried to import the
Bookmarks from a file, they ended up about 6 clicks deep in 3 redundantly named
folders and in a randomly sorted order. Copying the Bookmarks file to the
correct folder in Program files and replacing the new one didn't help. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

See above


Expected Results:  
     It should have added the bookmarks to Firefox in the usual Bookmarks
location, just as if I had imported the bookmarks from another browser.

     I find it easier to put the Bookmarks folder on my Desktop, open and
minimize it, and access the URL's from there rather than having to click, click,
click just to get to an address that I want to go to, then doing that repeatedly
if I am going to more than one location.
