Yes I was in Private Browsing mode as had set Firefox to not remember any history.

Set to remember history then option returned. Imported Favourites and then restored Private Browsing.

Thanks.

BTW Importing from IE only brings across Folders/ Favourites not in Folders had to placed in a Folder to be picked up..............
