I figured out how to do the import in a couple of steps, using a third-party free app that converted my Safari bookmarks to importable HTML. But the first couple of times I clicked on "Import" in the Firefox bookmark manager, it didn't do anything and I figured it was broken. Later it spontaneously started working. Go figure.
Having to use a third-party App. is pretty weak -- that'll deter most casual users.
Another bookmark issue deters even more users, the "Profile" glitch that forces the user to keep creating more new profiles with every login and/or browser launch, due to the profiles folder being stuck in a "lock" state and/or being corrupted. This was very common in earlier versions of Netscape, and is still quite common when one uses both Netscape and Firefox on the same computer, or even if not, esp. in Win XP and some Linux flavors (not so much in OS X). Several people on my friends list have complained about this, because when they lose the old profile, they lose their bookmarks, and their bookmarks are their lives.
Sorry, I was being a little obscure. Seamonkey was the project name of the original web browser part of Mozilla. That is, it's the browser usually known as "Mozilla", though people sometimes refer to it as Seamonkey just to distinguish it from Mozilla as the name of the whole project (or Mozilla as the old nickname for Netscape, I suppose).
