User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140825202822
Steps to reproduce:
I exported the bookmarks from Firefox v32.00 to a json-file. After that I started Semonkey v2.29 Beta 2 Build 1 to import this file.
Actual results:
The file-open-dialog will be opened and after selecting the file, an error occured with "The backupfile could not be imported". See attached screenshot.
Expected results:
The json-file replaced the present bookmarks.
Guessing that you're seeing this?
Bug 942937 - Deprecation warning "PlacesBackups.getMostRecent is deprecated and will be removed in a future version" in nsSuiteGlue.js (port bug 859695)
Note that you cannot import any .json backups, not even SeaMonkey's own.
(SeaMonkey 2.26.1 is able to import.)

Summary: Import json-file from Firefox do not work → Import json-file from Firefox (or even from SeaMonkey) do not work
rsx11m pointed out that FF is also affected, & it is, so moving to Core.
Likewise, suppose the bug I pointed out is not the issue at hand.

I have two .json in my /bookmarkbackups/.
bookmarks-2014-09-13 - Copy.json
&
bookmarks-2014-09-20 - Copy.json
13 will import.
20 will not.
I did a s/{/&\r/g on them to try to make them a bit more readable.
I notice that all lines begin with a quote (") except lines 30 & 31.
Suspect that something not kosher is going on there causing the import to fail.
(Let me also just mention .json vs .jsonlz4.)

looks like on of the 2 has a bookmarklet that maybe it's not well escaped, this "Target new windows" bookmark.
The lvermark loadfailed and expiration should also not be there as well, they are not real items from a long time.

> so what means: Flags: firefox-backlog+
It means it is part of our Product Backlog and is a bug we can schedule for development in an upcoming iteration.

I believe this was fixed on the SeaMonkey end by, Bug 1116446 - Cannot restore bookmarks from backup JSON file.
