Firefox: Bookmark Import Issues

In firefox, when I try to export my bookmarks as html, it only exports the bookmarks toolbar no matter what I select.

When I try to import a json full backup, the app says "he file submitted for this source should be html" (note the typo)

I looked at some old code of mine and it seems like I had to implement JSON for ff imports.

Sorry, it's a ruby code snippet haha:

   def load(content)
     @json = JSON.parse(content)
   end

   def check_element(el)
     if el['type'] == 'text/x-moz-place'
       @bookmarks.push({
         title: el['title'],
         url: el['uri']
       })
     end
     (el['children'] || []).each {|c| self.check_element(c) }
   end
   def get_bookmarks()
     self.check_element(@json)

     return @bookmarks
         bmark = {}
         bmark[:url] = child.attribute('href').value
         bmark[:title] = child.inner_text
         @bookmarks.push bmark
   end

Testing on Mac and Linux all bookmarks are exported correctly. You need to be sure to have "All bookmarks" selected when in the Library window. Seems like you only had Bookmarks toolbar selected.
