Your best bet is to save both the bookmarks.xbel, and a copy of the
bookmarks exported in netscape format from the galeon bookmark editor.
When the exporter asks for a path, just
give /home/<username>/bookmarks.html and then save that across your
re-install as well.

The netscape exported version is needed, as firefox can't import the
galeon format bookmarks AFAIK
