If this is Windows (or another OS- browser bookmarks work similarly), if 
the bookmarks weren't saved to default location, you'll have to BROWSE 
to the location in the import bookmark screen.  It doesn't seem to 
remember any location other than default.  You can easily browse to the 
correct location.

You * can * also just copy / paste the latest bookmark file (probably 
the .json format) from the old location / old version into new one.  
I've done this many times in FF.  Works same in Aurora.
If you COPY, just make sure it the latest date file (or date you want) & 
paste it into new version.  You DEFINITELY want to backup existing 
bookmarks from the version you're working with (if there are any), 
before copying or importing old bookmark file to replace existing one.  
If something goes wrong, you can start all over.
