Firefox not importing my html bookmark backup

I just built a new computer. My old bookmarks from Firefox were saved as a html titled "bookmarks". I have firefox running now (all drivers up to date, etc), but I can't import my bookmarks. They show up on my computer as a firefox file, I just can't get FF to import them. I'm running Windows 7, if that makes any difference.

Make sure that the file has .html file extension (bookmarks.html).
