Maybe there is an add-on, add-in, extension or plugin or something that offers that feature? I'm not sure, Firefox is not my primary browser, so I sadly cannot answer more precisely, sorry. > When I imported my bookmarks from my MS browser into Firefox they were > all organized in folders just like they were in the MS browser.

So my suggestion would be not to use the export function, but to work with the bookmark file directly. As far as I remember, it's in HTML and therefore keeps the organisation (which is then represented as folders in the GUI). The re-creation of this structure should be easy for the URIs which have been verified as still intact. The bookmark file could act as a template for a "copy if not 404 or bookmark title != HTML <title>" routine. > Where does Firefox store the raw bookmarks html file?

It's probably named bookmarks.html and it is located somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox, or whereever it keeps it configuration this year. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
