I'm not sure how it looks on OS X but on both Linux and Windows Firefox versions the "import bookmarks" feature is not in the file menu. It is in "bookmarks library" though.

Try to go to Bookmarks => Show all bookmarks and you should see the "Bookmarks library" window and the import/export features in there.
