In Firefox 5 on exporting HTML files, two unnecessary elements are included for each web page entry; namely, <DT><A HREF="http://www ...

These two elements are not necessary in my opinion. Please remove those two elements: the ICON_URI=" ... /favicon.ico" and the ICON="data:image/png;base64 , from the bookmarks.html file structure; or at least give an option for their inclusion or not in the exported HTML file.
