unix system (with unix linebreaks instead of windows \r\n).
There is no error message; it just fails silently.

2.launch the windows version of mozilla, and try to load the unix bookmarks.html
file
3.notice that it fails silently
4.replace the \n unix linebreaks with \r\n and retry.
5.notice that it now works as expected

Actual Results:  silently fails to import bookmarks file.

Expected Results:  should import bookmarks file despite linebreaks not being in
native format.
