Internet Explorer Favorites

Hey,
Does anyone know an easy way to convert internet explorer's Favorites folder into a nice html file that mozilla will be able to import???
I make a backup of that folder before I converted everything over to Gentoo, but I have a lot of favorites that I don't want to have to go through and try to add them all manually.

Thanks!

someone else may have a simpler answer, but....

On my Windows box, I had IE and Mozilla. Mozilla (under Windows) was able to directly import IE favorites and create the bookmarks.html file. Then I copied bookmarks.html to my linux box and imported it into Mozilla.

File, then import/export, then export your favorites as a html file.

Then you can import.

Any nice quick way that doesn't involve windows................. my favorties file is zipped and sitting in my home directory. I could go find a windows machine, but would rather not have to go through all the trouble =P

If you have wine installed there's a few programs that will convert a favorites directory to html. You'd have to search for them though.
