Importing Bookmarks Crashes the Browser

Every time I try to import my bookmarks from either the .json or the .html file, the process ends up with Firefox not responding, and then I have to close the program. I do have a lot of bookmarks, but I've also given it up to ten minutes to import everything before I try clicking away, and no dice. Is there a fix to make sure it doesn't hang or crash? I really need my bookmarks back.

Part of the file name for the JSON backup files show the number of bookmarks in that file. How many bookmarks do you have?

Example: bookmarks-2018-02-20_1744_wKIP-VA7OrAbVqyTCXr-gQ==.jsonlz

1744 bookmarks in that .jsonlz (compressed) backup file.
