Can't import large bookmark file

I recently purchased another Windows computer. I installed Firefox and attempted to import my bookmarks file (html). I was only able to import folders in my bookmarks and nothing else. I then open my bookmark file in Firefox and the bookmarks I want are still there. The bookmark file is 15.8 mb in size. Do I need to split up this file and, if so, how would I do that?

Thanks!

If you still have the old computer, you could try backing up to .json (by using Backup instead of Export). With the new system, restore the .json file.
