That will not work ! This is the reason : The Netscape Adressbook format has a special non-standard format. Mozilla can't import this format. Netscape7 can import Adressbooks.This is one of the missing commercial functions in mozilla (AIM+ICQ support, AOL + Netscape Webmail Support, Adressbook Import, P3P) You can use Netscape7 instead of Mozilla or you can try this : Install Netscape7 on a test system and after installing go to different system and start Netscape7 on this system via Network. You can now migrate the old Netscape 4.7x profiles with the adressbook with NS7. After that close Netscape7 and start Mozilla. Mozilla will use this profile and also the migrated adressbooks.
