How to Convert Live Bookmarks in Firefox to OPML Files
I’ve recently started using an RSS Reader to stay up to date with all the technology news. Now one thing that I noticed was that I needed to migrate all my live bookmarks to my reader, which could have been one of two ways, manually, or export to an OPML file and then import into your reader. Sounds easy enough, but believe it or not, OPML isn’t inbuilt into Firefox, BUT there is an extension. You can get it from Chris Finke’s website, just read the instructions and install, go to bookmark manager, and export to OPML, ready to be imported into your reader.
Saved me a lot of time. Hopefully it can help you too!

No problem, thanks for posting a comment.
179 live bookmarks. This let me sync up Google Reader and Firefox (love Chris Finke’s RSS Ticker) in about 10 minutes.
Great post.
Is it possible to export Google bookmarks into the OPML format. It seems that I can only export as an html file.
