I was able to reproduce this running the latest 72 beta using 10.15.3 (I was only trying to import bookmarks). We should try to reproduce it on 10.14 to see if it is 10.15 only.

I was able to reproduce this issue on macOS 10.14.6 (no bookmark was imported), but is not reproducible on macOS 10.13.6 (all bookmarks were imported - even when trying to import only the bookmarks), using on both cases Fx 72.0b11.

Too late for a fix in 71 and likely for 72. I'll leave this marked as affected for 72 in case we come up with an upliftable patch.
