I've searched all over and while I can find many apps to port bookmarks from Safari over to Firefox, I can not find a way to move them back. I find this wildly frustrating. Anyone know of an app or technique that will let me export my bookmarks in Firefox back to Safari?

I haven't done this yet, but I have a note to myself to get "safair bookmark exporter" in order to accomplish this. Check version tracker.

Good luck.

There's tons of little apps out there to do this. Versiontracker only has this one though, but it's a fine one.

If you enable the debug-menu in Safari, you can import them directly.

Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

If you want to keep all your bookmarks on different browsers the same I would suggest Bookit.Bookit

It keeps all the bookmarks the same and makes it easy to use Firefox and Safari
