Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Christiaan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

When installing there is only an option for copying settings from Internet 
Explorer. Since is was using Netscape before, i have to copy all the bookmarks 
by hand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install Firefox
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Same thing

Expected Results:  
Give an extra option to chose from which browser the user would like to import 
settings.

You can import them after installing fx.

INVALID ? WONTFIX ? Duplicate of a previous bug ?

It has not always been like this. I found a 1-November-2004 trunk build which
showed this import wizard: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/tamarix/import.png
Could not find the bug that changed this behaviour.

The migrator code is still there, so it could be simply that your Netscape data
is in an unexpected location, and therefore not detected.

Are you installing Firefox for the first time? AFAIK we only use this import
wizard if your profile has not been created yet.

No response in years... resolving INCOMPLETE for lack of details.
