I've just moed over from IE to Firefox and want to import my favourites from IE using the Firefox import command. But whatever I try I cannot get the import command under the File tab to "ungrey".

Are you in private browsing mode? In that mode some menu items such as File>Import are grayed out.

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

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