Can this be done with my FF bookmarks? I see my bookmarksbackup folder with some .json
Thanks

Viewing bookmarks from an Explorer View
by MichaelJRich » Sun 09 Aug, 2009 6:11 pm
In my old faithful Netscape, I could double click the bookmarks.html in an explorer view and Netscape would open and the bookmarks were clickable links.
Can this be done with my FF bookmarks? I see my bookmarksbackup folder with some .json

Michael,
yes, the .json format is used by FF3.x, in the bookmarksbackup folder, but what about the bookmarks.html file in the same profile folswe? I have such file.

Per Section 3.2, the .html file is residual from FF2. The date will show when one last used FF pre-3.0.

So, the only way to see my bookmarks for FF3.0.x is to be IN Firefox and select Organize Bookmarks?

MichaelJRich,
Option 1.
Open "config:editor" - filter on:
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
Set value = "true"
This will force FF to update "bookmarks.html" on close of FF.
Close FF.
Open Bookmarks.html with whatever program you have set to handle ".html"
Option 2.
Open FF:
Bookmarks - Organize Bookmarks
Select "Import and Backup"
Select "Export HTML" and export file to location of your choice.
Open Bookmarks.html with whatever program you have set to handle ".html"

You can, also, export the .html file from Organize Bookmarks.
