in thread How to Run a FireFox Bookmark

Actually, now Firefox stores bookmarks in a SQLite database. The bookmark manager allows the user to export to or import from either HTML or JSON, but there is no HTML or JSON file that's automatically kept up to date.

It would require gaining familiarity with the database structure, but I assume a SQLite module could handle it fine. It's just that it's not as trivial as parsing HTML any more.

    Changing browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML from false to true in about:config should make Firefox write a classic bookmarks.html file in parallel to the SQLite database.
