I think this should work. I don't know for sure. The browser code base 
is the same. I don't think the formats are different at all. Rename one 
bookmark.html to bookmark.old, make the link, and I'll bet it works. You 
could open them in OpenOffice.org and cut and paste from one to the 
other till one of them has all the bookmarks you want. I'm not sure why 
you would use one over the other.
