Is there a free program that can check my IE Favorites and FX Bookmarks
to see if any of the URLs are invalid or broken?

Xenu, if you put them on a web server.
 
Hello,
Xenu, if you put them on a web server.

IE Favs are not stored in html, so it does not help putting them on a
server.
And Xenu also can handle local html files, so this could be an option
for
Moz/Firefox bookmarks. But I would prefer AM-Deadlink...

Thanks for the Xenu tip (http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html)
Btw, the author's "getting started" message ends with a nice quote for
programmers from an unlikely source:

Test everything. Hold on to the good.
(1 Thessalonians 5:21)

You gotta like a developer with a sense of humor (or not)!
