That menu item is greyed-out when in the Private Browsing mode.

You can export your Favorites from IE and then import that file into Firefox. Works better than the "Import" does, IMO.
In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

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