Hi djdenning

No. But when you install Firefox watch for the import settings dialog to appear, here you will be able to bring your IE stuff into FF.

Firefox uses its own bookmarks that are kept separately from the IE Favorites in an SQLite database file called places.sqlite.

Firefox will offer to import the IE Favorites on the first start, so those will be available, but you may need to move them to the bookmarks toolbar for easier access.
