User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/2002121 In IE one can order the Favorites in the order that suits one best. This works with both subfolders and the URLs. Mozilla can import the IE favorites fine but not in the order they sorted in originally in IE. Mozilla simply copies the Favorites and displays them in alphabetical order. I can off course move them around in order that IE showed them by using the 'Manage Bookmarks' dialog, but this is a lot of work. It would be super if Mozilla did this automatically. Additionally, it would be better if Mozilla simply has a button somewhere in the 'Manage Bookmarks' dialog called 'Import All IE Favorites To Mozilla' which copies the Favorites (in the correct order) and simply turns them into 'regular' Mozilla bookmarks, thus not showing the 'Imported IE Favorites' subfolder, as this implies that Mozilla is subordinate to IE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create several bookmarks (Favorites) in IE 2. Change the order of these favorites by dragging and dropping them on the Favorites menu 3. Startup Mozilla and look under the 'Imported IE Favorites' folder and compare the order in which the Favortes are shown Actual Results: The Mozilla imported IE bookmarks are not in the order they are shown in IE Expected Results: The Mozilla 'Imported IE Favorites' should be show in exactly the same order as they are shown in IE.
