You are prfectly right on every point.
I was confused because, although in English only, Safari somehow "miixes"
native english and "pseudo-localised" french so that it displays an
imported IE Favourites file in the left column and a favourites tool bar in
the plain window containing the complete list of imported IE favourites.

BTW I tend to find Safari way faster than the fast Chimera; what do you
think?
