31If you export your bookmark from Diigo, make sure you use the Delicious export, not the Netscape export. (Their Netscape export is broken, and they don't seem to be interested in fixing it.)

43Shaarli cannot import data directly from [Scuttle](https://github.com/scronide/scuttle).
44
45However, you can use the third-party [scuttle-to-shaarli](https://github.com/q2apro/scuttle-to-shaarli)
46tool to export the Scuttle database to the Netscape HTML format compatible with the Shaarli importer.

50You can use the third-party tool [Derefind](https://github.com/ShawnPConroy/Derefind) to convert refind.com bookmark exports to a format that can be imported into Shaarli.

54- Export your Shaarli links as described above.
55 - For compatibility reasons, check `Prepend note permalinks with this Shaarli instance's URL (useful to import bookmarks in a web browser)`
56- In Firefox, open the bookmark manager (not the sidebar! `Bookmarks menu > Show all bookmarks` or `Ctrl+Shift+B`)
57- Select `Import and Backup > Import bookmarks in HTML format`

58
59Your bookmarks will be imported in Firefox, ready to use, with tags and descriptions retained. "Self" (notes) shaares will still point to the Shaarli instance you exported them from, but the note text can be viewed directly in the bookmark properties inside your browser. Depending on the number of bookmarks, the import can take some time.
