Firefox automatically backs up current bookmarks in lz4-compressed json under $profiledir/bookmarkbackups ($profiledir by default being like ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx.default). Can also autoexport to an HTML file by setting the following about:config prefs:
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML => (boolean) true
browser.bookmarks.file => (string) "/home/user/bookmarks.html"
If later pref is omitted then file will be $profiledir/bookmarks.html.
An issue with depending on this functionality is the backup happens when closing the browser.
- MasterYoda 4y agoI may misunderstand! But how often is the bookmarks autoexported to html? Can you set the interval also?
- forgotpwd16 4y agoWhen closing the browser which may be an issue if someone keeps it always open.
- mg 4y agoYay, this is beautiful! I had to set "browser.bookmarks.file" to "bookmarks.html". When omitting it, no file seems to be written.
