How do I get the imported favorites to appear as normal and not in a subfolder called "From Internet Explorer"?

I successfully imported my favorites/bookmarks from IE to Firefox but they show up as a subfolder called "From Internet Explorer". Since I live on the computer 8 - 12 hours a day using my favorites that's additional clicks standing in the way of getting where I want to be...thus I keep going back to IE even though it doesn't work as well as Firefox....

You can drag them out of that folder (or use Cut & Paste) in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) to a more convenient position.
