Public bug reported:

I tried importing my bookmarks from Firefox. I export the bookmarks into
an HTML file through the firefox dialog and place it in a folder. In
Chrome/Chromium I navigate to the bookmark manager and choose "Import
from HTML file" in the resulting file dialog the dropdown menu is
restricted to "application/x-extension-html". This will not allow me to
select any files at all let alone the desired html file.

Expected behavior:

I should be able to select the html file generated by another piece of
software and have the contained bookmarks imported into Chrome/Chromium

Actual behavior:

Can not select any html file to import at all. Impossible to import
bookmarks any way since the import browser data function is broken as
well.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Export bookmarks to HTML file from another browser
2. Open Bookmarks Manager
3. Select "Import from HTML file" in the Organize menu
4. Can not select html file in the file dialog
