merging firefox bookmark files

I started to use google bookmarks. But syncing with it is rough, if not dangerous. The gmarks extension was not very helpful, though it could be used at points.

I wanted to merge my windows and linux bookmark files. Foxymarks is currently down, so I couldn't even try that. And I didn't like the fact that I HAD to sign up for their service. Just let me do it via the FTP option, and I'll handle it myself.

Finally I decided to make copies of each file, import them both into firefox, then using the duplicate bookmark detection extension in firefox, I was able to week out the dups quite easily. Still need a solution for syncing with google tho.
