Is it possible to share Safari's bookmarks with Firebird Now that I have the pinstripe theme for Mozilla Firebird installed, I think I'll start using Firebird a fair amount. However, all my bookmarks have fallen into Safari's black hole. Is it possible to share Safari bookmarks with Firebird? It'd be sweet if these browser vendors would get together and allow all their browsers to read from the same bookmarks file. Posted in Mac OS X at Oct 17 2003, 09:39:26 AM MDT 3 Comments

Don't know how Safari does it, but Firebird/Mozilla just use an HTML document for bookmarks, and they allow import of bookmarks from an HTML file. So, if Safari stores its bookmarks as HTML, just locate the file and import it into Firebird.

It looks like Safari stores its bookmarks as a .plist file - so no dice there. <em>Doh!</em>
