I downloaded and installed Firefox, imported favorites/bookmarks from IE running Windows 7, and now all the bookmarks that seemed to have been imported point to BBC news link. Any suggestions?

Open the Firefox SafeMode and select Delete all bookmarks except for backups, then Continue in SafeMode.

Then close Firefox. Open IE and use File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file and save that file to the Desktop. Close IE.

Then open Firefox and open Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file and select that file you saved on the Desktop .

Hopefully that method will work better.
