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?

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.

If you're on Mac, TextMate.
