I tried doing a search, but nothing useful came up. Anyone know of a simple (and free) way to import Omniweb's bookmarks into Firefox or export from Omniweb.

The closest I came was the bookmark utility Bookit, but you have to purchase the license to sync among your browsers

Thanks!

Cant remember off hand, but think you can just export to HTML from Omniweb, and then import them into firefox.

I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. I went to Firefox's bookmarks page, went to import, selected Omniweb's html bookmarks file, but after opening it Firefox did nothing. I tried replacing firefox's bookmarks file in the Profile folder, but firefox just deleted it and created a default upon startup

Longwinded way... Download Camino. Use Camino's Import Bookmark option to import Omniweb's Bookmarks. Export the bookmarks out as HTML from camino. then import that into firefox.. think thats how i did it.
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.

Tried that too. But according to Camino, Omniweb's Bookmarks.html file is not a supported bookmark file type ... right?!?!
