Asp Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) I've just found that Firefox 3 now stores its bookmarks in a file "places.sqlite" instead of the html file it used to use.Is there a way to import bookmarks from these files into Firefox?It can "restore" from such a file, but that loses any existing bookmarks and replaces them with the new ones.I've looked through Firefox extensions and didn't see one that did this.The only way I can think of is to export existing bookmarks as HTML, restore the new one, import the old ones (you can import HTML). Haven't tried this yet though.Seems a backward step to make the file format less malleable. Used to be able to just open the bookmark.html file in any browser. I don't care if it's "more efficient" if I can't easily use the **** thing. Edited September 22, 2009 by Asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
