IMHO this IS a bug report. Why shouldn't it be?

Same problem here:

Starting Firefox,

clicking Datei -> Importieren, Firefox says "Einstellungen und Daten importieren: Es konnte kein Programm gefunden werden, das Lesezeichen-, Chronik- oder Passwortdaten enthält". All you can click is "Abbrechen" (abort). There is no way you could choose any bookmarks file or profile folder. This is quite obviously a CRITICAL bug.

This refers to Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 5+ with all of today's updates (64-Bit).
