Version: Bookmark Converter 2.9
Pros: I just downloaded and tried Bookmark Converter 3.2 Bata 2.----- It rocks.-----
Go the developers web site and get the latest version.-----
I have a bunch of old bookmarks in dozens of directories from Netscape Navigator 4.78. A while back I installed Mozilla and the bookmarks never made to move over. With This version of Bookmark Converter 3.2 I just moved the bookmarks to Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 on Windows 2000, Mozilla 1.7.13, FireFox 1.5.0.7, and Opera 9.02.-----
I checked out Bookmark Converter on Windows XP and it work fine on that OS as well.-----
The trick with the conversion is to find the location of your bookmark files. Basically I took the old bookmark file and converted the bookmarks into Windows favorites. Then I converted the favorites into bookmark files in the newer browses. As the location of the bookmark files will vary from operating system to operating system and from one version of a browser to another it is best to just search the whole drive for the file.-----
Under Netscape the file name is either bookmarks.htm for Netscape 1-4 or bookmarks.html for later versions of Netscape.-----
For Mozilla its bookmarks.html-----
For FireFox its bookmarks.html-----
For Opera its Opera6.adr-----
Note that for some browsers there may be more than one bookmark file and the files may be in different locations.----
As an aside the file finder in Windows XP is junk and is just about useless. You can download Babylon File manager from Download.com. Do a search for Babylon on Download.com. Once the program is open go to services, search.
Cons: None

Summary: The 3.0 verion and the 3.1 versions bot crash on XP. I can't use it to transfer from favorites to Mozilla.
It's odd that this level of bug can survive through ANY kind of update. read more -

Version: Bookmark Converter 2.9
Summary: This software worked as advertised. I was able to easily convert all of my Favorites in IE 6 (Windows XP) to Bookmarks in Mozilla 1.1. The sofware is slightly tricky though. You have to go into setting and change the default bookmark format from "... read more
