Chosen solution

Try exporting from IE in bookmarks.html format from IE and then import that file into Firefox. That usually works better when multiple layers of sub-folders are present in IE favorites.

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

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