Cannot import Safari browsing history into FF on OS X

As far as I remember, when I first installed FF on my iMac (El Capitan) it asked what I wanted to bring across from another browser when I first opened it, and history was one of those things. I chose to import everything from Safari, including history.

I use both browsers and would like to be able to import my latest history from Safari into FF, but I don't seem to be able to do that. If I go into Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import Data from Another Browser > Safari, the only 3 options I get are Preferences, Bookmarks and Other Data. Not history. I was hoping that Other Data might do it, but no. It just doesn't seem possible. On my work PC, if I go into the same wizard, it gives me the option to import history from IE and Chrome. Is there a way to do it from Safari on the Mac, or is it only possible by creating a new profile and importing everything from scratch?

This is in FF 45.0 by the way.
