Right:  the imported bookmarks are just a view of the other browser's  
bookmarks; as you edit them there, the changes are reflected in OmniWeb.

If you want to edit the bookmarks in OmniWeb you'll need to move them  
into OmniWeb's bookmarks, but fortunately you don't have to do that  
one-by-one!  Just click on one, choose Select All from the Edit menu  
(Command-A), and then drag them all onto OmniWeb's "Personal  
Bookmarks" collection.

Hope this helps!
