825558 - Windows version does not import *all* bookmarks/settings from IE

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Thomas Ward]

System Information:
===================
IE 9.0; FFox 17.0.1 Release Download.
Windows 7 64bit, Home Premium

Bug Details:
============
The import system does not correctly get all bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9.  It will take about 24 to 29 bookmarks (usually the first 24-29) and will import them into Firefox.  They do NOT correctly import the entirety of the bookmarks on Internet Explorer 9.

Trek: 
Please open a cmd window (start/run:cmd) and enter the command 
dir %USERPROFILE%\Favorites

This should list the IE favorites. Is it possible that the not imported Favorites have an Uppercase extension ?
e.g. favorite.url vs favorite.URL

Matthias:

I am off-site and do not have access to the machine in which this was reproduced on.  I am unsure when I will have access, and cannot get you the requested information.  I will try and reproduce on another windows system at my earliest convenience, its a pretty busy time at work right now.

If there's an "INCOMPLETE" or "NEEDS INFORMATION" status, you may want to mark this bug as such until I can get more information to you.

Nikolay Sonin, can you answer that question from comment #3 ?

I'm pretty sure that this is the underlying issue but want to be sure before closing this report.

Nope, the missed folders with urls don't have files with .URL endings.

I had to the Problem that some bookmarks aren't imported right (see duplicat). The Bookmarks in the htm file has everytime a .URL extension in my case.

Is there any solution or a way to get this bookmarks to imported into firefox? 

Should i add all bookmaks wich aren't right imported?
