Firefox hangs every time I try to import a .json backup of my bookmarks (2500kb). It failed in V25. I upgraded to 27 and it still failed. I've tried it in safe mode. I've tried several different files. I've reinstalled firefox. Firefox hangs as soon as I touch any part of the screen.

Try do this in safe mode:

Did you have this backup as HTML file?

You don't import the .json backup file, you restore that type of file. Import is for HTML export bookmarks files.

Yes, I did restore the files (or try to) and yes I did attempt the "restore" in safe mode. Wouldn't work. I have 5 backup.json files, none of them worked.
