When importing existing Firefox bookmarks make sure to export those into the html file as linkding won't process the json backup file that Firefox can produce.

It won't do anything with the folders though. That's a pitty. I love putting my bookmarks into folders.

I am not sure if this still works but this python script [1] helped me when I moved bookmarks from Firefox to linkding long time ago. It converted folders to tags. Linkding doesn't have folders concept and rely on tabs.

Yeah, read a github issue on the topic, looks like this won't change. Tag with some spacer like `:` would be great, but the app would have to treat them differently from regular tags to be useful to me. Or maybe I'll make a pull request :-)
