304165 - confusion over imported "favorites" as "bookmarks"

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Brian Rakowski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

In usability testing, we also noticed that some users didn't
understand that when their IE Favorites were migrated, they appear as
Bookmarks in Firefox.  When importing from IE, the import
tool offers the option of importing "Favorites."  It would be nice to
append "(called Bookmarks in Firefox)" to each mention of "Favorites"
on the import pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox
2. Opt to import settings from IE
3. Observe messages in import wizard

Actual Results:  
Favorites were imported but Firefox doesn't have any "favorites"

Expected Results:  
Somewhere in the import tool, it would be nice if there was an indication that
IE favorites are referred to as bookmarks in Firefox.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

The import tool now says "Import Options, Bookmarks, History, Passwords and other data from:" and lists IE. Resolving as WFM.
