how to upload favorites folder into firefox
I am trying to upload my internet bookmarks from the favorites folder, there is no way I can see to import all 19 folders and their associated individual bookmarks into the FireFox Bookmarks toolbar. I had them there previous to a Windows 10 update that caused other issued. Microsoft had to create a new user profile which made me have to update Firefox and none of the bookmarks uploaded with it.

Export those Favorites from Internet Explorer in bookmarks.html format and then import that file into Firefox. Firefox can't handle "favorites" from the Windows Explorer file system. Or whatever Win10 calls "explorer" now.
In IE: File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
then in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file
Thanks, somehow I did this with Windows 8 and is not an available option in WIndows 10.
My IE bookmarks are not the same as Firefox, stopped using IE since I was having issues three years ago, all bookmarks are in folders now.
Are that bookmarks from Edge or from Internet Explorer?
The bookmarks were originally in Internet Explorer, since I stopped using IE years ago the majority have now been created in FireFox, but are in another user profile as indicated in the original post.
Your original posting was a bit confusing as far as mentioning "bookmarks from the favorites folder". Internet Explorer calls then "favorites" where other web browsers refer to them as "bookmarks".
If you are referring to a Firefox Profile, see this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data

Locate the old Firefox Profile folder and copy the specified files into the new Firefox Profile folder.
