Just an opinion: I wouldn't export into Excel. I've seen too many users using Excel as a DB. Excel is not a DB, it's a sheet, please keep this in mind. If you want to backup your bookmarks, look for something like XMarks. – m0skit0 Sep 29 '11 at 14:55

I just tried the HTML export/excel import option, rather messy but using " as a delimeter on excels text import wizard did get the urls in a useable format - you could then manually zap most of the rest quite easily; rather depends on what you wanted excel to do with the information.

Firefox can export bookmarks as an HTML file, and Excel can open HTML files.

Whether Excel will know what to do with an HTML file with bookmarks is another question. I'll do some puttering around and see if I can get more info.

Did Excel actually handle this conversion well? I'm actually rather interested. I don't have FF on my work machine to test how well it would work. – music2myear Sep 29 '11 at 14:55
Two downvotes? I appreciate constructive criticism more than hidden stabs. – music2myear Oct 11 '11 at 13:49
