Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 248352

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[James Heginbottom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I just installed FF and imported my settings from IE. All the bookmarks were imported but they were reordered into alphabetical order instead of preserving the order I had them in in IE. If possible, the order of my bookmarks should be preserved on import.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set bookmarks in IE in a specific non-alphabetical order.
2. Install FF
3. Import bookmarks from IE
4. Check order to see if it matches the order set in Step 1.

Actual Results:  
My bookmarks were in alphabetical order.

Expected Results:  
I expected my bookmarks to be in the order I had chosen in IE.
