    Just a quick question. I recently started using Firefox & used the import wizard to transfer my bookmarks from IE. It copied all the web-links but didn't copy any shortcuts to network drives.....is it not meant to? Jus a bit frustratin.

    Because it's the IE is hard coded into the OS it can do lots more (damage) than most other browsers when it comes to file handling.

    If you type in C: it opens up the drive as file:///c:/ but you can't cut / paste folders the way you could with (internet) explorer

    file://///MyServer/sharename/

    BTW: Compare this behaviour in IE and Mozilla Http://MyServer:139
