When I installed a newer trunk build of fx, I imported my bookmarks and all the other stuff from IE.  After that, when I looked in the bookmarks menu, there was nothing except for the commands.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Customize IE.
1a.Get rid of the Mozilla folder in Application Data folder
2.Install fx and import settings from IE
3.Look in bookmarks menu

Actual Results:  
nothing in menu besides commands

Expected Results:  
imported bookmarks appear in menu
