Did you following these procedures to export IE Favorites to your desktop (or in another folder):

To export your IE Favorites to a file

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. Go to "File > Import and Export...", then click Next.
  3. Select "Export Favorites", click Next, click Next again 
  4. Click "Export to a File or Address", click "Browse" to choose a location such as the desktop (or accept the default location) and save the file, which is named "bookmark.htm" by default.
  5. Click Next, then Finish to complete the export. 


Then import the html file into Firefox. It should show the actual bookmarks, not the IE Favorites folder.
