Exporting Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks Into Excel

Question

I want to export all the bookmarks from my Firefox browser into CSV or Excel file. How can I do this?

Solution

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.

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.

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.

Two downvotes? I appreciate constructive criticism more than hidden stabs.
