I'm sure '10in' is a mistake - rather 10pt?
And try replacing
\hbox to \parindentFFN {}
with
\hbox to \parindentFFN{\hfill}
(no space after FFN).
I would also replace
\@thefnmark.~#1
with
\@thefnmark.\kern 0.5em #1
Otherwise the ~ will give a variable space after each footnote-cue, whereas
it will look much better if there is a consistent space between each cue and
the text of the footnote (it doesn't have to be 0.5em: you could say 5pt,
or whatever you think will look best).
But I don't speak LaTeX either, and you may be doing something else wrong!

So should it look like this:
\makeatletter
\newdimen\parindentFFN
\parindentFFN=10in
\renewcommand \@makefntext [1]%
{%
\leavevmode \hbox to \parindentFFN {}\@thefnmark.~#1%
}
\makeatother
It doesn't work, anyhow.
