Closed Bug 351653 Opened 19 years ago Closed 19 years ago

I expected when upgrading from Mozilla 1.7 to Mozilla 1.8 that bookmarks would have also automatically been transferred, but they didn't.

Could the copy from 1.7 not be compatible with the paste of 1.8 ? Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1.Tried with the mouse controls from and to the tabbed menus - failed 2.Tried with the aLT + C and V from the keyboard - failed 3.Tried "copy" from the mouse and "paste from the keyboard - failed Actual Results: I had to manually open the URL through the upper windw then bookmark each URL separately. Not an impossible task, but timeconuming and lends to possible errors. Expected Results: Slowly suceeded to transfer the URL's to the upgraded program. The copy & paste features should be more reliable, as they are used that much more often than trasfer of URL's from/to bookmarks.
Why did you want to do it that way? If Mozilla 1.8 would exist, it would use the same profile as Mozilla 1.7. The successor of Mozilla 1.7 is SeaMonkey 1.0.x, but SeaMonkey 1.0.x uses the same profile as Mozilla 1.7 anyway. Please consider upgrading to SeaMonkey 1.0.x, Mozilla 1.8a6 is slow, unstable and unsecure.
Comment 1 is right, so this bug as the summary says would be WFM, but your bookmarks copy problem does indeed exist, see bug 335673. Duping. And please upgrade to SeaMonkey (formerly known as Mozilla Application Suite), see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/.
