Isn't this a one-time import? I'm not sure why you need to automate this
process, Seems like the VM that stores bookmarks could get compromised
eventually if it parses SQL files constantly.

I'm not sure why firefox PID would ever be 0?
If firefox isn't running, it won't show in ps. So:
if ps -A | grep -q firefox; then .... else ... fi
assuming any process whose name contains "firefox" is actually firefox.
