Make sure you are not in the Off-Line mode:


File > UNCHECK the Off-Line mode.

Also make sure you are not in the Private Browsing mode as well:

I was having the same problem. If you have firefox set to never remember history then the 'import' will not be highlighted. To correct this go to

Tools>Options>Privacy>History pull down menu
