I am looking for a Mac-based app to check the validity of browser bookmarks for both Safari and Firefox. I searched using Google and Wisenut and got nowhere. The sites that have collections of software like Pure Mac, Versiontracker, Softpedia, and MacUpdate were no help either. Is there any such thing for an Intel Mac?

Thanks for answering. I tried that one but it does not work. It just closes down when I try to start a scan.

Thanks. Bookit is way too much for what I want to do, and I definitely do not want my bookmarks for different browsers organized identically.
Omniweb is a web browser. I am happy with Firefox. Actually, I found an extension for Firefox which can check the validity of Firefox bookmarks. It seems to output a lot of question marks, but those links are generally OK.

Bingo! OmniWeb will hit all your bookmarks.

Though I haven't a clue why HTTP authentication passwords cannot be pulled from the Keychain by OmniWeb or Safari. That makes using OmniWeb's bookmark syncing worthless without .Mac, which in turn makes using OmniWeb's bookmark syncing worthless. Plus, I bought a license for BookIt ages ago.
