Tom AZ Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Can anyone tell me the name and location of the Bookmark file in Firefox Portable 3.5.2? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think it is located in "Firefox Portable Folder\Data\profile\bookmarkbackups". Usually its "bookmarks-year-month-day.json" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom AZ Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Appreciate the help, but I think these are backup copies -- not the active bookmark file itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It's in: FirefoxPortable\Data\Profile. It should be a file called bookmarks and it should be an HTML Document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 @Icedrake I looked upon that file, and it's just the bookmarks you get when you first run Firefox Portable. @Tom You can always go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Export HTML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom AZ Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 I finally figured out the actual active bookmark file in Firefox Portable . . . it's "places.sqlite" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 15, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2009 I finally figured out the actual active bookmark file in Firefox Portable . . . it's "places.sqlite" I really wish they'd go back to the old way of saving the bookmark file, that after having to manually add in bookmarks after doing a clean install sometime ago and I realized my backup did nothing as it was showing a months old version of my bookmarks. Just make sure it's making bookmark backups for you, or better yet install FEBE which you can configure to automatically make full profile backups.

Tom AZ Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Good advice. I am using FEBE as I always have. Also, it appears to create a bookmark backup everyday and puts them in the Bookmarkbackup folder. I wonder if there's a way to limit the number of backups it creates so you're keeping just the most recent 3 or 4 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can create a set limit of user defined backups in 'FEBE Options->Directory' area, and if you have it automatically make a daily backup you could input 3 or 4 in that 'Directory' area which perhaps should translate into the number of days it would keep the backups before flushing them out for newer backups.
