bookmarks.onImportBegan
Fired when the browser has started importing a set of bookmarks.
While a set of bookmarks is being imported, onCreated may fire a lot of times. If your extension is listening to onCreated, and the listener is expensive, you should also listen for onImportBegan and onImportEnded. When you receive onImportBegan, ignore onCreated until you receive onImportEnded. You can handle all other notifications as usual.
