  • Homepage import was removed in bug 1434167 (Firefox 60)

Common issues affecting most browsers

Differences between official and unofficial builds

  • Homepage import (Only appears in official builds) - Removed in bug 1434167

Differences between startup and later migrations

Startup migration happens when a user has no profiles.ini (i.e. no profiles) and they see the migrator automatically during startup (possibly only in official builds?). It can also be triggered with the -migration command-line argument. Migration can be accessed for existing profiles from the Places window (bookmark/history manager) from the last toolbar button => Import Data from Another Browser

  • Non-toolbar bookmarks are imported at the top level for startup migration but in a sub-folder with the browser's name afterwards.
  • The data selection page is skipped during startup migration and all data for the specific browser is chosen.
  • The system default browser should be first and initially selected during startup migration.
