Niiiiiice! :) I was able to browse to the firefox app support folder
and import the bookmarks.html, but our way is also interesting because
it tricks safari into thinking it hasn't ever asked for an import.
One thing Apple might want to consider for Safari is making it an
option on imports.. to import from Firefox. I imagine they will get a
lot of users that are coming from firefox to Safari, especially with
Leopard.
I personally went to Firefox because I had too many compatibility
problems with gmail and some other "web20" sites... but Safari seems
to be working fine with them now. (Not a fault of safari mind you, it
was just gmail and other sites would not enable enhanced features if
it detected Safari).

Quit out of Safari.
Find the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
Open with Property Editor. (You must have Dev Tools installed.)
Scroll down to "NetscapeAndMozillaFavoritesWereImported"
Change Yes to No.
Launch Safari and it will import bookmarks from Firefox (and Netscape etc.)
