How can I import about 375 RSS feeds in one folder from Safari (already imported into Firefox) into 'live bookmarks'??

Among the 10,000 or so Safari bookmarks organized into folders up to 5 to 7 levels deep that Firefox successfully imported without a hiccup from Safari is a top-level (to the 'Bookmarks Toolbar') folder with about 375 RSS feeds (i.e. all already formatted as this one: 'feed://benswann.com/feed/).

How can I import all 375 or so at once into Firefox's 'Live Bookmarks'?

(I'm running Firefox 38.0.5 on OSX 10.10.4.)

Did you check if the Safari HTML backup contains all the Feed URLs?

You can open this HTML file in a Firefox tab for inspection.

I don't understand how this relates to my question.

Clarification: previous post:

I apologize if the previous post appeared rude rather than simply concise; that was not my intent. Rather, I'm assuming there's something additional that I need to do, and therefore trouble-shooting at this point I believe is premature.

My feeds (all in the format indicated in the original post above) — 507, as I initiated Open All in Tabs to get the exact count — are in a folder in my "Bookmarks Toolbar", exactly as they were in Safari (though I had used a tabbed folder in Safari).

In Safari (on 10.6.8, with its integrated RSS reader — that Apple replaced in 10.10 with a far more rudimentary version insufficient for my needs, and hence Firefox is now my default browser, most likely forever) clicking that tabbed folder in my toolbar generated a page with all new posts from my 507 RSS feeds (i.e. generated by the integrated RSS reader).

I didn't expect Firefox to operate the same, as my understanding is that I need to do something further with that folder of 507 feeds (hopefully not one at a time, though it's definitely time to dial back my reading  ;-) ) to make them into what Firefox refers to as "Live Bookmarks."

I just checked to insure I am correct to this point, by attempting to "Open All in Tabs" and Firefox did what I expected: rather than activate them as "Live Bookmarks (i.e. the equivalent, I assume, of Safari launching its integrated RSS reader and loading the new posts from each) it did, in fact, attempt to load the actual RSS feed page of each of the 507.
