I still dont' understand what you are asking for. as far as I can tell, you
want to do what I described to you originally but you want a "program" that
does it for you.

What is your reasoning behind you wanting to do this and what is your
reasoning behind using two different browsers?

Is it so you can say "I think I have that favorite in Internet Explorer" and
when you don't find it there, you can say "I'll just check FireFox's
Bookmarks"?

Is it identical bookmarks in each browser that you are after?

Are you after a filter to remove duplicates when initially combining the
firefox and ie bookmarks/favorites?

Is it for historical records so you can say to yourself "I bookmarked that
one in Internet Explorer and not Firefox and I think that is important to
know."?

Is it because one person in your household uses firefox and the other uses
IE?

Regards,

Justin
