Exported bookmarks from Firefox to IE left me with several duplicated files. Isn't there a way to sync without duplicates?

I'm trying to survive the downfall of X-Marks. For years I have used X-Marks with Firefox but then every few days I would sync IE to FF so that it changed my favorites to the same as FF. Smooth, easy. I could bounce back and forth between browsers. I have tried searching for a new solution now there is no X-Marks. All I could find were ways to sync to other devices. Or export FF favorites to a file, then import that into IE. I did that but now I have tons of duplicated bookmarks in IE. Is there really no way to sync FF to IE?

Export and Import via a bookmarks.html will append existing bookmarks, so you may or will get duplicates.
