The bookmarks functionality isn't finished yet (but it does have important features like nicknames, called keywords like in Fx). I don't think that can currently be done other than through manually rearranging things, which is a bit inconvenient.

At Import and Export feature I see no option for exporting bookmarks. I believe it certainly will be added at a near future but there is currently any way I can copy it manually as a file able to import to firefox? (I don't know where bookmarks are located in Ubuntu version).
Thanks.

Otter's bookmarks should be in ~/.config/otter/bookmarks.xbel
Firefox's or Iceweasel's bookmarks are in ~/.mozilla/CRYPTICNAME.default/bookmarks.html
Don't ask me how to get the information from xbel to html, though.
As far as I know Firefox cannot import bookmarks from Opera or Otter.

There seems to exist a few tools to convert xbel to html (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/xbel2html.1.html) but I don't know how to work with that stuff.
Thanks anyway py-thon. :)

It's a pity that Firefox can't import bookmarks from a common standard format. As it is I guess Otter will have to add support to HTML export.

It can from Opera. Opera can import, export bookmarks from and to HTML.

Well, HTML is sort of standard.

Option to export bookmarks to HTML has own ticket:
https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/issues/726
But we are planning to overhaul import and export APIs first.
