Well I guess you can't get much more complete than these replies
You can import the IE Favorites via
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
You can also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
- Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
- Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
