Sqlite format for bookmarks is a problem.
John Corliss
that FF will load faster. Now I can't do this any longer because
bookmarks aren't stored in that file, they're stored in your profile's
"places.sqlite" file and that file won't display in FF. Even though my
bookmarks.html file still exists, it's no longer updated by FF whenever
I add or delete bookmarks. Instead, that "places.sqlite" file is what
gets updated and as I said, it won't display.
Does anybody have a suggestion other than having to continually export
the bookmarks to overwrite the existing bookmarks file? This added step
is too much for me as often as I alter my bookmark.... eh,
"places.sqlite" file.
By the way, IMO, the three new "non-bookmark bookmarks" named "Most
Visited", "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" shouldn't even be in
bookmarks, they should be under the "History" menu item.
If you export the "places.sqlite" file to the "bookmarks.html" file, and
then open that file in FF3, clicking on any of those "non-bookmark
bookmarks" results in the following error message:
_____________________________________________________________________
Alert
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol
(place) isn't associated with
any program.
OK
_____________________________________________________________________
and since they are history related items, all of them, IMO they
shouldn't be under the "Bookmarks" menu but rather, should be under the
"History" menu item.
Regardless, the switching from use of the bookmarks.html to the
"places.sqlite" file is going to cause me tons of other problems which I
won't go into here.
I don't need this grief.

Well, for a file that was never intended to be displayed, it sure does
so perfectly, even down to displaying link descriptions.
I'm currently trying to find a freeware program which will allow me to
both view and edit .sqlite files.

Chris, I have to confess I'm totally confused by this bookmark change
business. Though my bookmarks *did* survive the change from 2.0.0.14 to
The V3 release yesterday.
1) In Ff3 is the bookmarks.html file still used?
2) Aside from being a db file. what exactly does places.sqlite do?
When I've looked at it in a sqlite Db manager, or the addon SQlite
manager, I see nothing that is user, usable. Or to put it another way, I
don't see my bookmarks.
If bookmarks.html is not being used, just where are they stored?
Thanks

places.sqlite is file, where bookmarks and history are stored. I'm not
sure what you mean by what does it "do". I haven't used the add-on; but
SQLite [1] is an open-source database format, and I have used a separate
SQLite Database Browser [2]. The bookmarks are in places.sqlite. :-)

[Snip Links. Thanks for those]
Obviously my Ff3 Profile does have a places.sqlite file, but it doesn't
contain any bookmarks or history in user readable form.
Viewed in SQLite Database browser it contains stuff like...
+ Moz_bookmarks table CREATE TABLEmoz_bookmarks...
and so on.
Same for History.
I've expanded very single + There is not a single bookmark stored in
places.sqlite
So I remain confused.

The URLs and titles are in a table called "moz_places".

Thanks folks, I'm now in the picture.
When I was searching the Db and opened moz_places, the "url" column only
showed http://www. all else was behind the next column "title" which
contained mostly one and a half words.
Again thanks for the input, appreciated.
Cheers

I have a downer on dedicated DB applications, So...
For what it's worth, I've made the About:Config mod., so that the
Bookmarks.html is updated.

And any changes made to bookmarks.html by the old Fx will be
overwritten next time you use Fx 3.

If you change the pref to true then exit FF, the bookmarks.html file is
now populated like it always was. Otherwise it remains a blank file. I
think that's what David was indicating.

That's not much of a "hoop". More like a "seddit and fuggedit". Note
though, that the updating doesn't occur as you make changes.
Unfortunately, the bookmarks.html file gets updated only when you close
Firefox.

They would if they tried to sync to a PDA or whatever else. You can't
sync an empty file. :-D
But since you're the antagonist of the hoop criteria, we'll put you in
charge of explaining to the nOObies how it works when the create the
fuss. :-)
The Flock team recognized that fact and will be adding the pref in the
UI as a checkbox in a future version. Flock 2 beta-1 is already released
for testing - http://www.flock.com/beta/download

Netscape use the term "Bookmark" long before Internet Explorer came

The term "Favorite", like "My Documents" (why not simply "Documents"?)

You can export bookmarks in either JSON format or HTML format from the
Organise Bookmarks window. If you export them to some other location to

Thanks for that. I've just read
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.places.importBookmarksHTML , and it
seems to me that if you make both of these options true in user.js,
browser.places.importBookmarksHTML
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
you should have a bookmarks.html that is pretty much kept in sync with
places.sqlite. User.js is automatically read upon Firefox's startup, and
it overrides prefs.js, and it is not modified by the browser. That means
that you can keep importBookmarksHTML set. By default,
importBookmarksHTML is switched to false after the import, but user.js
will make sure it's always true when FX starts.
Jeff▲Relf
instead of spending 5+ minutes uploading “ places.sqlite ” ..
As you noted, this ( in User.JS ) works great:
“ user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true ); ”.
P.S. Sorry about the multiple posts,
News.Mozilla.ORG is acting real goofy.
Not only is it taking hours before a post shows up ( unheard of ),
it's accepting posts to newsgroups that don't exist,
e.g. it lets you post to “ Mozilla.Support.Firefox3ZZ ”.
Please suggest a regular newsgroup ( for FireFox 3 and CSS 3 ),
one that normal NNTP servers might carry.

if “ News.Mozilla.ORG ” keeps acting up I might go there.
By the way, contrary to what I said in
“ news:Jeff_Relf@2008_Jun22_5.3Ai ”,
FF3 is now up to CSS 2.1, CSS 3 is schedualed for 3.1.
Opera 9.5 ( recently released ) already has CSS 3.
What version of CSS will IE8 hace when it comes out ?

Too bad the import setting doesn't seem to really work. Well, it does
*something* - namely, discards the new bookmarks I create (which after
all should be saved in the sqlite file).
So, for the purpose of sharing bookmarks among multiple computers, I
am where I started - FF3 seems to make it impossible. !&*#%!#!
What were they *thinking* ??

Hi Jeff_Relf,
Please start a new thread for a new question, you have incorrectly
started a new question by replying to someone else's question to
start a sub-thread of your own with a different subject, then again new
subjects of your own on your purloined sub-threads and again quoting
irrelevant information from a thread, so people don't know what
they are or should be replying to. Don't change the subject of a thread.
Do start a new thread for a new question.
Every new thread has a reference number and each reply carries
reference numbers to each posting directly replied to, so it is easy
to see that you are making a mess of threads, and changing subjects.
If you are not seeing a threaded view of this newsgroup then you are using
newsgroups incorrectly.
I can't tell how you are accessing this newsgroup, but the following article
helps with subscribing to newsgroups

but does not how to show threads for each newsreader.

HTH,
David McRitchie, extensions I use are briefly documented on my site
Firefox Custom: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm

that two settings need to be made, one is a boolean value, and the other
is a string value.
Lou
Gee, maybe the OP would like to know what you did in detail.
Ron Hunter
Yeah, me too. Grin.
There are two config entries, one is export bookmarks and the other
import bookmarks. If they are both set correctly, then bookmarks.html
file is SUPPOSED to be updated correctly. However, I have since created
a clean profile for FF3 and have not made the changes, since I no longer
switch between FF2 and FF3.

I wasn't subscribed to Mozilla.Support.Firefox
because I'm already using 2 NNTP servers and I don't want a third.
You and whoever it was that decided Mozilla.Support.Firefox
shouldn't be carried by other NNTP servers would be “ More Valuable ”
if you could actually understand how UseNet works .. if.
You reply to a post ( a person ), not a thread, not a newsgroup.
Threads branch like a tree; my titles reflect that, yours should too.
You told me:
“ Every new thread has a reference number
and each reply carries reference numbers
to each posting directly replied to ”.
They're called Message-ID's ( “ article numbers ” are numbers );
going down the root, the current subthread ( branch ) is:
“ Jeff_Relf@2008_Jun22_10.31Pp
Mumia_Wotse dvGdnT0LY7cExMLV...@mozilla.org
Jeff_Relf@2008_Jun23_2.45A5

Jeff_Relf@2008_Jun24_2.24A6
David_McRitchie eb-dnfSD35SxnhrV...@mozilla.org ”.
You told me:
“ I can't tell how you are accessing this newsgroup ”.
I use “ News.Mozilla.ORG:80 ”; my hand-rolled newsreader
is called X.EXE ( it's in my “ JeffRelf.F-M.FM/Games.ZIP ” ).
I loathe sigs, but I noticed yours has: “ MVPS.ORG/dmcritchie ”.
Your FireFox page is way too large and it takes too long to load.
On FireFox 3, I'm using: “ JeffRelf.F-M.FM/userContent.CSS ”.
