Install a bookmarks extension in Opera. I’m using Bookmarks Manager on the latest version of Opera and it’s working fine.

Export your Firefox bookmarks as an HTML file.

Click the Bookmarks Manager icon in Opera (to the right of the URL field) and select Manage & Import. Click Import Bookmarks, then navigate to your saved HTML file to import them.

Re: bookmarks in Opera,

I have been using xmarks for years to manage my bookmarks across multiple computers. Unfortunately, it didn’t have an Opera extension.

What I found is there is a “Chrome” extension (add-on) for Opera that allows a lot of Chrome add-ons to work.:
https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en

Once you install that, the xmarks chrome app works perfectly.

One last point that took me a minute to find.
You have to enable the bookmarks in Opera to even show up:
opera://settings
Scroll down until you see the “bookmarks bar” and enable it.

Now, with xmarks enabled, I have synced my bookmarks at work and at home.

I hope this helps.
