I've got quite a few favorites that I would like to import into Firefox from Internet Explorer, and I'm not sure how to do that/if you even can do that.

Chosen solution

In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

then in Firefox:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

There's other ways of doing it, but this way will merge those IE Favorites with your Firefox bookmarks.
