K-Meleon supports old Netscape bookmarks.html
<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1> ( which was a standart once )
with <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> or other
while Firefox claims it still uses it but has integrated icons inside that make it more colourfull. K-meleon can use that new type also.

Edit:
I replaced the file for bookmarks in the K-E folder with the one from FF but still nothing shows up in K-E...I think they are still incompatiable
If K-Meleon does not read a Firefox bookmarks file?
1.) It is either damaged ( k-m c coded plugin is more picky about bad data ).
Else more common :
2.) It is not at the location wher k-meleon is set too look 4 it.
Else quite rare:
3.) Bookmarks file is too big ( more than 1000odd entries = AFAIK a limit )
4.) Best bookmark (Yes - You can simply bookmark it ) FFox old bookmarks.html so that k-meleon only reads it and cannot write it.
Why?
@ 1. & 2.) The bookmarks.html in the k-meleon folder at:
./defaults/profile/bookmarks.html
is used to create new Profiles in default location which is next to FFox profile at a system specific location - or at the k-m-folder if You choose so at install or later place a profile.ini in k-meleon folder.
!!!Most ppl use xp and do not choose that!!!
The normal place is at system default location.
The structure is always
.profiles/default/1uwfo6i7.slt/bookmarks.html (*slt is an arbitrary name / default can be other name that You chose)
(You best find k-meleon profiles via preferences/general/ )
@ 3.) I do not know whether size limit will be altered. The size problem is 2 rare. & the big bookmarks.html can be still bookmarked in k-meleon bookmarks.html ;-)
@ 4.) K-Meleon will use the FFox bookkmarks.html (if it is not damaged or to big) but will cut site icons out permanently the first time You add a new bookmark.
Do not permitt k-meleon to have write access to a FFox bookmarks.html that You
want to use with FFox again unless You do not care about site icons.
