Well, it first of all depends on which browser you are talking about, but I
presume you mean Opera or Netscape/Mozilla since you talk about a file (IE's
favorites are in a directory/file structure. A few projects exists to parse
Netscape bookmark files. I know Oleg Broytman has done some work. Another 
possibility is the XML SIG on http://www.python.org, they have done some
bookmark project as a demo for Python and XML which gotta include a parser
for Netscape bookmarks.
I don't know about Opera though, their format doesn't seem to be based on
structured text like HTML or XML.
