I'm giving Safari 1.3 a go, but all my bookmarks are in Firefox. Any ideas how I can transfer them? If I export them from Firefox I get them as a list of links in a .html file, but I can't seem to import them into Safari. Any bright ideas/utilities that might help me?

I was in the same situation as you earlier today. Here is what I did.
Make a copy of the Firefox bookmarks.html file. Rename it to Favorites.html and put it in the Explorer folder in Preferences. Delete the Safari preference file so when you relaunch Safari it imports the bookmarks from Internet Explorer and places them in Imported IE Favorites.

That's convoluted and ingenious in equal parts. I'll give it a go later, thanks

I'm not sure how exporting my non-existant Safari bookmarks and then importing them into Firefox will help me use my Firefox bookmarks in Safari.
