found while testing bug 166203, using 2002.09.25.04. when importing a bookmarks file (in html format) which contains a bookmark group, that groups ends up as a folder instead. sample bookmarks.html coming up...

the bookmark group here is called "group1" (consisting of 3 tabs), and is located in the Personal Toolbar folder. 1. save this file locally. 2. select Manage Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks... 3. select the file and click "open" 4. go to the bookmarks sidebar, and open the imported items ("Mozilla/Netscape Favorites"). alternatively, look at the Bookmarks toplevel menu. observe that "group1" is now a folder, not bookmark group.

Another way to turn a bookmark group into a folder is to open the bookmark manager and cut (or copy)-and-paste the bookmark group. You can drag a group around, and it'll stay a group, but if you cut/copy and paste the group, it becomes a folder. I'm testing on Windows 2000/SP3: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030202

sets group flag.

move to pink, add to cleanup bug

also fixes bug 199651, and an import crash if Mozilla/Netscape file had a menu spacer.
