Overview:
Unpacks Firefox bookmarks.html bookmarks as .url files and subfolders.
Setup:
1. Run FFBookmarkUnpacker.exe
- on first run an .ini file opens
- set the unpack folder and the path to your firefox profile
- save and close the .ini file
2. Make Firefox save bookmarks.html in profile folder on each close
- type about:config in Firefox
- type browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
- set the value to "true"
- close Firefox
3. Run FFBookMarkUnpacker.exe to unpack bookmarks
Tips:
- Put a shortcut to FFBookMarkUnpacker in the Windows Startup folder to unpack bookmarks automatically every time Windows starts
- Add the word wait as parameter in the shortcut to wait 20 seconds before unpack.
- Set tooltip=1 in .ini to see a tooltip progress notification during unpacking and on finish.
Notes:
- Warning: FFBookmarkUnpacker clears the unpack folder on each run.
Make sure you store no other files in that folder! - FFBookmarkUnpacker only creates copies. Firefox still has all bookmarks.
- Only bookmark titles and URLs and bookmark folder names are copied.
- Datestamps from the bookmarks file are preserved.
