Could you post what the actual entry in the bookmarks file is? I added a bookmark like:
file:///d:\clan\index.html and it worked. I'm wondering if the URL got corrupted on the import of bookmarks. There definitely is a bug here though - if you type: file:///d:\clan\index.html In the URL bar, the slashes and drive letter get converted incorrectly.
