Well, I'm all sorted out now.

Overall it would have been very simple to just export an .html bookmark 
file, except that for some reason my computer at work just doesn't seem 
to have a proper "Favorites" folder defined in the Registry. I was using 
an IE hack called Maxthon (http://maxthon.com) with a custom, shared, 
networked Favorites folder comprised of .url files. And when you're 
doing that, you can't get a standard bookmark.html export from Maxthon.

Anyhow, what I wound up doing was zipping the whole folder up and 
emailing it to myself at home, unzipping it into my local Favorites 
folder, then using IE to export it to bookmark.html . From there it was 
just a matter of mounting my NTFS drive in Linux and importing it in 
Firefox.

Thanks for trying with me.
