Not a great solution, but better than nothing.. assuming "manage
bookmarks" eventually does load all your bookmarks and you can export
your bookmarks as html (tools / export html). Run a script to show
all the dups so you know what can be deleted:
$ cat findDupBookmarks.sh
#!/bin/sh
# input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file
BMF="$1"
# bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists
grep '<A HREF=' ${BMF} |\
sed -e 's/^ *<DT><A HREF="//' \
-e 's/ ADD_DATE="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ ICON="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ ICON_URI="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ LAST_MODIFIED="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ LAST_CHARSET="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ TAGS="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/">[^>]*>//' |\
sort | uniq -d
$ findDupBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html
https://lite.qwant.com/
or you can list your bookmarks and run it thru a dead link checker or
somesuch to find things to be deleted or changed to point to
archive.org
$ cat listBookmarks.sh
#!/bin/sh
# input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file
BMF="$1"
# bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists
egrep '(<A HREF=|<DT><H3 )' ${BMF} |\
sed -e 's/^ *<HR> *//' \
-e 's/^ *<DT><A HREF="//' \
-e '/^place:/d' \
-e 's/^ *<DT><H3 [^>]*>/--/' \
-e 's/ ADD_DATE="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ ICON="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ ICON_URI="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ LAST_MODIFIED="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ LAST_CHARSET="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's/ TAGS="[^"]*"//' \
-e 's~</H3>~~' \
-e 's/">[^>]*>//'
$ listBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html | head -5
