Common issues affecting most browsers
- Favicons aren't imported (e.g. bug 718220 & bug 711995)
- Imports may fail if the source browser/profile is running (e.g. bug 706005 & bug 715315)
Differences between official and unofficial builds
- Homepage import page – Only appears in official builds
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.

Firefox migrator
Summary
It is used by the reset/refresh profile feature from about:support and a notification bar if a profile hasn't been used in 60 days. It's not shown in the list of migrators at this time as it's meant for Refresh scenarios. It only supports migrating from the default Firefox profile to a new one.
