[Bug 1602370] Re: Bookmark folder does not copy the content into another profile

[Sam_]

** Tags added: xenial

** Description changed:

  You have different firefox profiles.
  You want to copy the bookmark folder 'foo' including some bookmarks into another profile.
  The folder gets copied, but without content.
  This is since a long time, maybe version 40 or so, I was hoping it eventually works again, but unfortunately not.
+ Still the case with 50.0
