Description of problem: Import of bookmarks from Mozilla doesn't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.0-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. File -> Import... 2. Select Netscape 6, 7 or Mozilla 1.x Actual results: Bookmarks not imported. All I get is an empty bookmark folder with the name "From Netscape 6/7/Mozilla". At first glance, it looks like cookies were imported OK, it's just bookmarks that failed, but I'm not 100% certain of that. Expected results: Everything imported OK Additional info: Bookmark import does work if it's done via the "Import and backup" menu in the "Organize bookmarks" dialog. Just not if done from the File->Import menu.
Are you able to reproduce the same behavior with the upstream binary from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US ??? Thanks for a reply.
Similar, but slightly different behaviour with the upstream binary. If I use the import on first launch option, it works fine, and everything appears to have been imported OK. If I choose not to import anything at first launch, and then later try to do so via the File->Import menu, it fails. However, where the Fedora version at least gives me an empty "From Netscape 6/7/Mozilla" folder in my bookmarks to show that it's tried to do something, the upstream binary gives me nothing at all.
We found that this bug has been already registered in the upstream database (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215094) and believe that it is more appropriate to let it be resolved upstream. Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for the bug report.
Hmmm... so the upstream bug was opened 5 years ago, hasn't been touched in the last 4 years, and doesn't seem to be directly related to this issue anyway (neither it nor its dependencies mention import of Mozilla 1.x data). I guess I'm not going to be holding out any great hopes of this being fixed in the near future then :-(
