Where is the import field gone. It is not in the file men where it should be... Am running on Version 8 Firefox and OS X 10.7.2

I'm not sure how it looks on OS X but on both Linux and Windows Firefox versions the "import bookmarks" feature is not in the file menu. It is in "bookmarks library" though.

Try to go to Bookmarks => Show all bookmarks and you should see the "Bookmarks library" window and the import/export features in there.
