import bookmarks fails

[Nick]

I exported bookmarks from old version of Firefox on another Linux installation so that I could import them to a pre-release version of Firefox (Aurora, v29, including Australis UI overhaul) on this installation.

1) Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch), Release: 14.04
2) firefox:
  Installed: 29.0~a2~hg20140316r177585-0ubuntu1~umd1
  Candidate: 29.0~a2~hg20140316r177585-0ubuntu1~umd1
  Version table:
 *** 29.0~a2~hg20140316r177585-0ubuntu1~umd1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     28.0+build1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
3) When I imported the HTML bookmarks file I expected to see the bookmarks appear in the browser.]
4) No sign of any imported bookmarks in the browser.

I have tried restarting Firefox with Add-ons disabled and then doing the import. And I have tried logging out and in again after importing but they refuse to appear.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

apport-collect 1293916

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
