I have just installed windows 7 (I had Vista before). I have all of my bookmarks in a favorites folder. How do I import my bookmarks and my bookmark toolbar to firefox from my favorites folder?

Firefox can't deal with the raw Favorites data, you need to export that data from IE into a bookmarks.htm file, and then import that file into Firefox.

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

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