I"m assuming you were using Internet Explorer before you found Pale Moon.

Favorites from Internet Explorer are HTML. Pale Moon Favorites have two different options, JSON and HTML, but you have to choose the correct option. So when you imported your HTML Favorites from Internet Explorer, did you choose the HTML Pale Moon Favorites option?

HTML imported to a JSON will not work.

Favorites from IE are by default in a web shortcut format.
