I use lynx and specify one of its bookmark pages for such inter-browser
bookmarks. Use lynx to browse to a browser's bookmark file, then save
that page to the appropriate lynx bookmark. Ditto for all other browser
bookmark files. On each browser, I have a prominent bookmark pointing
to my lynx bookmark files (I have several). No editing involved.
