I am looking for a way to merge a bunch of different bookmark files without importing duplicates (or creating empty folders ... im looking at you firefox+bookmarkdd!).

I'm not looking to sync amongst browsers or computers, this is a one time merge of a bunch of different files.

Ideally I wouldn't have to install anything, as such I'd also be open to scripted solutions.

Try Bookmark Merger. It is a python module that will merge the bookmarks.html files generated by Firefox while removing duplicates.

Description:

Bookmark Merger is a Python library/module written mostly for the purpose of merging multiple bookmark files together. It works only with the bookmark.html files created by Firefox.

So, you wish to merge multiple html files with possible duplicates without importing them in firefox ?

I'd say the easiest solution would be just that - import them in FF, get some extension to check for duplicates, delete those, and then export them again.

addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1553 one such addon, "Bookmark Duplicate Detector" – dbr Sep 10 '09 at 1:08
that would be the "bookmarkdd" he refers to in the question :P – John T Sep 10 '09 at 2:00
Nope. I knew of some other one, but for the like of god, I can't remember the name now. Anyways, 'tis not important ... – ldigas Sep 10 '09 at 11:59
