The 5.0 bookmarks code is expecting the file to be named "bookmarks.html" on _all_ platforms now. Can we fix the 4.x-to-5.0 migration to rename the file when copying?
Summary: [win32] profile migration should rename "bookmark.htm" to "bookmarks.html" → [PP] profile migration should rename "bookmark.htm" to "bookmarks.html"

Don, I think you're all over this, but here's a bug to track it...
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: M9
I'm indeed all over this sucker. I don't think it should be an M8 bug. I'll fix this right away for M9.
Whiteboard: [TESTCASE]
Steps to reproduce: 1) Run apprunner 2) Migrate a profile from Communicator 4.x 3) Verify that bookmarks file in Users50/migrateprofile directory has .html extension
So, I think that its BAD BAD BAD to change the name of the bookmark's file!!! Third-party utilities will be looking for the old name of the file (whatever it is for a given platform). INSTEAD, the 5.0 bookmark's code should handle finding a bookmark's file with any of the older names and use the name it finds. I have code to do exactly that, and I'm going to check it in. THIS bug should be marked as INVALID in my opinion.

Robert is right. I'll remove the code I had to change name. Marking INVALID.
