Suggestions for Browser Bookmark Management?

slashdot_commentator asks: "My bookmark collection has hit a few thousand at this point. Anything that looks interesting, or may be of interest in the future, I tuck away. I group them in roughly 30 different subfolders based on topic. I've decided I consume too much effort in organizing them, and need to find a better solution. I've looked at radically different systems like del.icio.us, but its not for me. I'm even toying with writing a plugin/replacement to the current built-in bookmark manager. Can anyone recommend a plugin or package? Or alternately, features they would like to see in a 'bookmark manager'?"

    Personally, it took me about ten tries before I "got it." Maybe we're both dense, I don't know.

    delicious for Firefox rocks, by the way.

    there's more than one way to do me.

    Perhaps what we need is a new meta tag to handle this bookmark title:
    <meta name="bmtitle" content="Mozilla.org" />
    This fits much better in my bookmarks than the current title "Mozilla - Home of the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird e-mail client".

    Parent: Look at Firefox Extensions >> Bookmarks, maybe try eg Bookmarks Synchronizer 1.0.1, etc.

    Article: Wish list item. Over the years I've accumulated bookmark files from Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konqueror, and Lynx. I would like something that would reconcile these various files and formats into a single file, ask/delete duplicates, etc. These duplicates would include "Hey dummy, you have the same url in 3 different folders. Do you want to delete ..". Mentioned elsewhere, also some easy way to scan, verify, find, and ask/delete dead links.
