Import Safari bookmarks shows up in Bookmarks Toolbar and Bookmarks folder.   I would think it shouldnt go to bookmarks toolbar.

Importing data from other browsers like Netscape and IE correctly creates a Folder in the Bookmarks dropdown, but not in the bookmarks toolbar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build data in safari
2. install Fx3 beta 1
3. open a clean profile, and file > Import 
4. Choose Safari
5. Verify bookmarks from safari show up on Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar

Tony, do you know what's the exact behavior of each migrator about this? The safari migrator was written "by design" (I'm not saying it's good, just that it's not a mistake). I think the new Chrome migrator creates two "From Chrome" folders, one in the toolbar and one in the menu

The new migrator (bug 710259) creates a "From Safari" folder in the bookmarks toolbar folder for these items (when migration is done from the Places organizer).
