I personally use a cool PHP/MySQL webapp called "bookmark4u", which is a web-based bookmark manager. It has some great features, my favorite being the javascript "bookmarklet" which you can add into any browser you use [which you also log into the webapp with]... the link it creates for you is best-used in the bookmarks toolbar folder, and the only javascript it uses is document.link and document.title
Possibly if I just provide the project link, you can find out more for yourselves :)
http://bookmark4u.sourceforge.net/
I've been thinking about submitting a patch to add icons next to any bookmarks which tie into other cool services like archive.org, google cache, stumbleUpon, technorati. del.icio.us, etc...

Ben
PS - this tool is VERY relevant to this thread, because with it, you can import bookmarks from IE, Opera, and Mozilla-based browsers, re-organize them, and re-export them ;-))

Bookmarks from IE > Firefox: Install a new instance of Firefox and it will offer to import them as you say. Works fine in my (limited) experience.
Concatenating bookmarks: Mozillian browsers store bookmarks in an HTML file, you may have some luck copying and pasting contents together. Take a look at one to see what I mean... "locate bookmarks.html" should point you to a copy.
Depends on the exact operation you want, really. I'll try to answer it better if you can give a precise example. :)

How can I concatenate two sets of bookmarks, say from two different computers. Seems like the last time I tried this it was awkward when run with the import/export function. Cut and paste produced copies of the names but not the underlying URL's. I might have been trying to go from IE 5.5 favorites to Firefox Bookmarks. Dumb question? I apologize in advance.

In Firefox (and Mozilla) "Favorites" are called "Bookmarks". In Firefox, go to the Bookmarks menu, and choose "Bookmark this Page..."
By the way, I think you're thinking of Internet Explorer, not Hotmail. Hotmail is the Microsoft email website. Firefox will take you to Hotmail too (although there are a few layout issues when I checked it out just now).
