Bloody hell, I just realized why my Mozilla Firebird 'Add to bookmarks' prompt has been taking so long to appear lately: the Imported IE Favorites folder contains 2000+ subfolders!
Now, I haven't used my IE favorites since last December or so; it's mostly empty except for some shortcuts to local folders for use in Explorer. Apparently, during the last install, Firebird 0.6.1 thought it would be a good idea to add those folders and all their subfolders to its bookmarks file. Wow.

- It didn't happen to my installation, so it's not something it does by default.. I think.

- I'm surprised to see Mozilla Firebird is just as good as IE....small, fast, supports DOM stuff, wow.

- Definitely... You have to remember, IE6 is an 'outdated' browser, being over two years old already.

- "Mozilla Firebird is just as good as IE"? You must be kidding! Firebird beats IE three times over!

- Ruben, why "yuk"?

- Here we have an interesting situation: two different Jeroen's have posted a comment. Do I show that as one name in the 'x comments by...' link, or two?

- It doesn't matter, I think. The posters URLs are needed to differ between them. We can't see the URLs in the "x comments ..." link. So show it as one.

- I guess that's the drawback of not registering....however, I would keep it like this, and consider banning "jeroen" names, since it's too common anyway :D
