Importing IE links to Mozilla

Hi, I want to import my IE bookmarks in Windows to Mozilla in linux, is it possible?

bookmarks>manage bookmarks>tools>import

I already tried that and didn't do anything, Window$ bookmarks have a ."url" extension and a different format, and the import tool only works with html files. An example of an IE bookmark

cat java.url

[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://java.sun.com/
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://java.sun.com/
Modified=D0844B3BDF11C3018E
IconFile=http://java.sun.com/favicon.ico
IconIndex=1

In IE: File -> Import and Export -> Next -> Export Favorites. Generated file will have *.htm extension and will look like:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>

<!-- This is an automatically generated file.

It will be read and overwritten.

Do Not Edit! -->

...

Then simply import this file in Mozilla.
