My default location of IE Faviorites is D:\Faviorits. When I install Moz (latest build and previous builds) Moz does not look in the new location for bookmarks even though the registry setting for the faviourites is correct set to the new location. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new directory outside of the normal IE Favorits directory 2. Move all of the favorites to the new folder 3. Modify registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Favorites with new folder location. 4. Relog-on 5. Install Mozilla (latest build) 6. Check Bookmarks\Imported IE Favorites and you'll see nothing there. Actual Results: No Imported Favorites. Expected Results: Imported folders and bookmarks from D:\Favorites.
