If you have a large IE (7) favorites list with nested folders and import them into FF3B5, it works fine.

If you then cut them from the "From Internet Explorer" folder and paste them into "Bookmarks Menu", bookmarks in subfolders are gone.

For example, I have a folder labeled "IT", and a subfolder labeled "News".  Bookmarks in the "IT" folder are still present after cut & paste, while the "News" subfolder is empty.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import favorites from IE.  Must have folders and subfolders.
2. Highlight all folders & shortcuts under "From Internet Explorer"
3. Cut
4. Highlight "Bookmarks Menu"
5. Paste
6. Navigate to a subfolder.  It will be empty.


Expected Results:  
All subfolders and bookmarks under a root folder that was cut & paste should be moved as well.
