 1 | The reason i made this little script can be found in [this post](http://www.ovalerio.net/content/node/45)
 2 | 
 3 | How to use it
 4 | =============
 5 | 
 6 | in the folder of the script type: 
 7 | 
 8 | 	python ffbbe.py input.json output.adr
 9 | 
10 | where 'input.json' is your firefox's bookmark file and 'output.adr' is the new file to be created.
11 | 
12 | Now you just have to open your Opera browser and import the bookmarks using the new file you have just created. 
13 | 
14 | 
15 | Improvements
16 | ============
17 | 
18 | Other browsers and formats would be a nice feature to add (may be in the near future).
19 | 
20 | 
21 | Licence
22 | =======
23 | 
24 | You are free to do whatever you want with it.
