I use both browsers and would like to have the same list of links between them. It is troublesome to copy a page address manually from IE to FF. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install any previous version of Firefox 2.Import bookmarks from MS Internet Explorer 3.Use IE and add new favorites 4.Upgrade to the latest version of Firefox 5.Import bookmarks again from IE Actual Results: The new IE favorites are not imported to the bookmarks on Firefox. Expected Results: Update the bookmarks! It can have an option to add the missing ones, synchronize them, and/or update the address if it has the same name.

Bookmarks are only imported when a new profile is created. Currently, there isn't any plans to keep them in sync with IE's in any way. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 274245 ***
