Windows Task Manager indicates that the programme is not responding and I am forced to close Firefox. Clearly there is a glitch.

1. go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks
2. select 'Import' -> Import HTML
3. choose Internet Explorer
4. no activity
5. Firefox stops responding
Actual Results:  
4. no activity
5. Firefox stops responding

Expected Results:  
My Bookmarks should have been imported from IE. This did not happen.

To properly diagnose this one would need your bookmarks from IE zipped up and attached to the bug.

not enough informations, we need at least the bookmarks.html to be imported or a crash stack trace.
