Something like that sounds perfect for Epiphany.

I will put this on my to-do list, should be easy to implement.

We display an "import from Firefox" option if a bookmarks.html can be
found in a subdirectory of ~/.mozilla or ~/.firefox. It looks like
Firefox stopped creating bookmarks.html files; they're now saved with
names like bookmarks-2016-01-06_31_bjG4ZXCpPqCFqMYySclJrA==.jsonlz4. So
it looks like it would be a project to get this working again.
