Is there any conversion program to automatically convert .json files to
.html? I have several utilities keyed off of the old FF2
bookmarks.html file and as much as I can see the layout of the .json
files, I would rather not reinvent the wheel. If I could just get
something to make the old style bookmarks file, I could keep on trucking
along as I had been.

And yes, I can do the export myself as I have, but is not as automatic
as it used to be.

One thing lead to another and so on. I read a reply to another thread
and in the short, they pointed to about:config and a setting to
automatically backup the bookmarks to the old bookmarks.html file like
version 2.0 would make.

This solves my problem, a simple edit of the config and life is good.

The date and time was 10/20/2008 5:43 PM, and on a whim, Big_Al pounded
out on the keyboard:

It appears this "improvement" in Bookmarks isn't that at all to many who
have reported here. I also felt the HTML storage was sufficient. But
users don't know what's good for them, so the devs have to spoon feed us.
