Organize Firefox Bookmarks

Which HTML editor should I use to organize my Firefox bookmarks?

I have well over 1000 Firefox bookmarks, with many duplicates. I want to do a thorough reorganization by exporting them to an HTML file and editing that.

Most HTML editors are made for writing web pages. That's overkill. All I want is to be able to run a merge-and-purge to delete duplicate URLs. I also want live parallel columns so I can drag bookmarks, and groups of them, from one to the other.

Word will do this, I suppose. How about Libre Office? Other suggestions?

Notepad Plus. Not an HTML editor but a text editor/Notepad replacement (as name suggests). There's an extension whose name I don't recall (TextFX?) which adds various search and sort functions, including eliminate duplicates.

If you're on Mac, TextMate.

In Notepad++ you can do TextFX -> Sort output at unique columns to remove duplicates.

A thousand bookmarks isn't a lot, but manually checking for duplicates? You're absolutely crazy! Use an Add-on such as Bookmark Duplicate Detector to do the hard work for you.

Sorry, yes, Notepad++ was what I was referring to. TextFX is the plugin.
