A _much_more useful tip would be some tools for *synchronizing* IE and FF bookmarks.

Many of us have to live with more than one browser (mostly because we're stuck w/ IE at work).

Importing and exporting bookmarks is simply NOT an acceptable solution for those of using multiple browsers and multiple PCs. The tools that I've tried so far have not worked very well - some don't seem to work at all, some are OK when they work, but are unreliable.

Please consider addressing *synchronization* of bookmarks in a future tip.

Synchronizing and <a href="http://www.tidyfavorites.com/favorites/export%20bookmarks.html">exporting bookmarks</a> is possible with Tidy Favorites. It supports IE, Firefox, Opera and Chrome. Besides, shows bookmarks as live thumbnails which makes working with bookmarks fun, easy and fast.

There is a really easy way to do do with the Firefox add-on called Plain Old Favorites. It simply lets you use IE Favorites within Firefox. No syncing, no logging into other sites, no importing or exporting. Very slick and easy to use.

Just use Google bookmarks. Works best if you have the google toolbar installed but also accessible from http://www.google.com/bookmarks. The bookmarks are searchable and not dependent on a specific computer. That way you can access the same bookmarks from your home computer, office computer, etc.
