That's one of the reasons i never save my bookmarks in a browser.
I have made php script that manages a few files that act as a db
with my links divided in pages, topics and so on.
It's also easy to transport bookmarks since i only have to copy
the small script & the text files containing the actual links, pages
and categories.
I then set my browser home page to the generated output index.html
file and i have all my links at my disposale.
