Can't import Bookmarks - Freezes Firefox.

I have downloaded Firefox 35.0.1 for MAC running OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks.

Every time I try to import bookmarks it just freezes Firefox. Tried the feature to import from another browser (Safari and Chrome) as well as importing from a saved HTML file. None work.

I get an error message pop up telling me that Firefox is trying to run a script that is non-responsive. I have to force quit the application.

My machine is clean. I just had the Apple store re-format the entire drive and load OSX Mavericks fresh as a mew machine instal, so there is definitely no junk on my machine that should be causing the problem.

Bookmark imports have always worked easily and without a problem before.

Can anyone help please?

Does the message say what script? Did Firefox crash?

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers, click it and select Submit.
