I see some apps in Google Play that claim to support this flow:

  • Import that file into the stock browser bookmarks database, with some or no ability to handle folders

After that, in theory you could use this feature of Firefox for Android:

menu > Settings > Customize > Import from Android

I definitely have not tested any of that myself.
