Helpful Hint #24832958

In looking recently at my Epiphany browser, and being continually frustrated at how it renders a few websites/fonts just plain crappily (see this for an example), I decided to get the latest release of Firefox. In switching to Firefox, I wanted to take my Epiphany bookmarks with me. Unfortunatley, Epiphany uses RDF whilest Mozilla/Firefox uses HTML.

Yay for mailing lists, for here I found an XSLT stylesheet to convert between the two, that I have put for downloading here. To use it, simply run the following in your home directory:

$ xsltproc -o bookmarks.html ephy2moz.xsl .gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf

bookmarks.html is the bookmarks file that is generated that you can import into Firefox using Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks, then File->Import->From File. Works like a champ!

Also, if you don’t like the grainy Firefox icon that comes stock, you can use jimmac’s nice shiny one here.
