Bookmark options for Import or Backup do not exist

more options

I have just installed Firefox 8.0 and tried to import my old bookmarks (.json) file. I am familiar with how to do it (no need to explain that). What happens is that when I open Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks, window does not have the buttons for Import/Backup at all. Am I missing here something? (Again, no need to explain to me how bookmarks are imported) Does anyone know the cause or the way to fix this?

If you are using Ubuntu's new "Unity" interface, all the menus have been moved to the menu bar at the top of the screen. So, with the Library window open and selected, mouse up to the top of the screen and you should see an "Import and Backup" menu.

Yes, I am using "Unity" (obviously not too long to get used to it). Thanks for the reply, problem solved!
