How to Sync Bookmarks From Safari to Firefox
Apple's Safari comes as the default Internet browser in Mac OS X, but you can still install third-party browsers. Mozilla's Firefox has a reputation for its many add-ons and extensions, which presents a valid argument for using both browsers on your Mac for different purposes. Unfortunately, you cannot synchronize bookmarks to automatically update between Firefox and Safari. You can, however, export and import your bookmarks between the two to access your favorite websites from both browsers.
