Well, it was way easier than I anticipated:

[Firefox] Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Export Bookmarks to
HTML... -> Name: bookmarks.html

[Midori] Menu -> Import Bookmarks -> Application: Import from XBEL or
HTML file -> Import Bookmarks -> bookmarks.html -> Open

Done.

Plus, on Ubuntu (I am yet to fully test Midori on the Devuan laptop) I
found out it has many addons I was afraid wouldn't be available:

Adblock "Block advertisements according to a filter list"
Cookie-manager "List, view and delete cookies"
Cookie-permissions "Manage cookie permission per site"
Nojs "Manage javascript permissions per site"
Statusbar-features "Easily toggle features on web pages on and off"
Shortcuts "View and edit keyboard shortcuts"
Addons "Support for userscripts and userstyles"

More than enough.
