Importing bookmarks

My computer crashed, so I have restored a backup. There is a folder called "Favorites" and it has an hierarchy of folders for my Firefox bookmarks. I'm wondering how I go about importing them, keeping the hierarchy.

I've tried to follow the instructions on just importing an HTML file, but it doesn't seem to work (even when I tried to import just ONE favorite).

Thanks for any help.

You need to export that Favorites folder in IE to an HTML or copy the content to the Favorites folder in your Windows account and see if you can import them as IE favorites.
