It is a bug in firefox. Using chromium based browser fixes it. Alternative solution is to upload VCF file and then clicking on it will start importing

I have the same Issue in chromium on Debian. It also doesn't matter if I upload the file and click on it or import it using the contacts importer function.

What I found out so far: Obviously the vcf file is downloaded to the browsers runtime environment. There it's parsed and each single contact is uploaded to the server again using a PUT request. It seems that there is not difference between the two different methods. But Sometimes I got the hint that the connection to the server was lost. Immediately the number off errors while importing increased.

Looking at the error console I saw this here:

I used chunks of 100 contacts in each vcf. Using CardDav I was able to check the amount of uploaded records. Sometimes 100 were uploaded sometimes just 99. So please catch the Server outage problem and try to resend the contacts.

Just to know: I just upgraded to NC 28.0.1

Just to add: I ended up importing the vcf into the KDE application Kontact as an offline address book. Then I also imported the Nextcloud address book. Now I could easily select all Contacts from the offline one to the Nextcloud address book. Finally I right clicked on the Nextcloud address book and syncronized it by using the update function in the context menu.

The enables other features as well. I had massive problems with some VCard Features using the default functions. E.g. embedded images led to errors and also some encoded stuff. Using the Kontact applikation I was able to go around the Webinterface from Nextcloud which seems to be responsible for some parsing errors.
