How do I import SUB-folders in Safari Bookmarks?
I see where and how to import Bookmarks with one folder, but when that folder contains subfolders, those aren't coming over, even though I went to the whole Bookmarks Folder in Safari to do the transfer, I guess in HTML from the look of it. If that matters. But sub-folders contain the most important bookmarks for me.
Thanks for any suggestions/help. I'll much appreciate it.

Are you using Firefox's automatic importer? That sometimes fails and "Plan B" is to export bookmarks from Safari to an HTML-format file, and then import it into Firefox.
- Export from Safari (I don't have a link for this)
- Import Bookmarks from an HTML file
After importing, use the Library dialog (Command+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks") to move them from the import folder to your preferred locations.
HOPEFULLY YOU WON'T NEED THIS, BUT JUST IN CASE:
With some versions of Safari, there is a structural difference between the Safari export format and what Firefox expects which prevents importing.
If you are handy with a text editor, you can look for these lines and delete them:
<DT><H3 FOLDED>Bookmarks Bar</H3> <DT><H3 FOLDED>Bookmarks Menu</H3>
Based on earlier research, the first one appears near the top between
<H1>Bookmarks</H1>
and
<DL><p>
Not sure how far down the other one is, but I'm sure you'll be able to find it. These <DT> elements being outside of a <DL> appear to prevent importing.

Note: The problem isn't with all <H3> tags, just the two that contain Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu, on the less indented lines that start with <DT>. See later reply https://support.mozilla.org/questions/978273#answer-503888
