I'm trying to import bookmarks from an HTML file, using the isntructions at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File?as=aaq#os=linux&browser=fx7

I click Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks.

The next step says "From the toolbar on the Library window, click Import and Backup and choose Import Bookmarks from HTML.... "

However, I don't see anything that says "Import and Backup". I'm using Firefox 7.0.1 on Ubuntu/Oneiric Ocelot, recently upgraded.

Chosen solution

Ubuntu 11.xx displays window menus in the control bar at the top of the screen with the switch to the Unity window manager.

Click on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks then move your mouse to the left upper corner toward Firefox Web Browser.

You'll get pop up menu (Organize, Views and Import and Backup).

That worked, thanks! Not used to menus being there.
