Does this happen repeatedly (that is, did you try again, and it failed again)?
If so, can you attach, to this bug report, the bookmark file that you are trying
to import?

A talkback ID would be nice, too. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

This happens on my PC with Ubuntu Linux, too. The PC crashes before I can select any file to import, it already crashes when I click on file-import (before the import filter itself starts)

This happens any time I try to import anything in Firefox, I tried it several times. Other than the original poster, I do not get any error messages.

Can anyone reproduce this with a current Firefox build?

For now, not enough information → resolving INCOMPLETE.
