Recommend a Firefox extension that interacts with de.licio.us

I like the way Foxylicious copies my delicious bookmarks into my browser, but is there anything which will work the other way, copying my bookmarks into delicious, using perhaps the menu structure for the tags?

I haven't tried this, but spurl.net will upload bookmarks exported by a number of browsers, including FF, and will also auto-post your spurled pages to del.icio.us. I wonder whether spurl.net auto-deliciouses bookmarks it uploads as well as pages you spurl "by hand".

Why not make a bookmarklet for posting to del.icio.us and use that instead of bookmarking in your browser?

On a similar topic, is there anything that will do this for OS X without paying for a .Mac account?

That would be jumpstarted by being able to use del.icio.us without having to manually move all my old bookmarks over. That's a big reason I don't use it, in fact.

My idea was, since foxylicious will copy your del.icio.us entries to browser bookmarks, you don't need to manually move all your old bookmarks over.

All the tagging and centralization makes it an almost perfect app for synching my bookmarks across several different computers on different platforms, for the long run.

I know it's not the same as using del.icio.us due to lack of tagging, but as far as synching bookmarks across multiple computers... I use the Bookmark Synchronizer to copy my bookmarks to an XBEL file and upload it to my site, and use the same app to keep the bookmarks in synch when using the laptop, and if I want to access my bookmarks when using someone else's computer, I can access it online by parsing the XBEL file to regular html.
