It seems to me that the file structure should be in the source code somewhere and you can download that. --C On 11/27/2011 7:28 PM, David McGlone wrote:

You can export the bookmarks as a json or html and then read it easily with php but i suspect you want to read the firefox files directly, in which case you can read the sqlite file called places.sqlite More info here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Sent from my iPhone 5 Beta [Confidential use only] On 28 nov. 2011, at 00:47, David McGlone<david@dmcentral.net> wrote:
Hi all, I am wondering if it's possible to find the bookmarks file in firefox and output the contents on a page with PHP.. I'm wanting to do this so I can use it as my home page.
I realized I wasn't very clear with the post after I sent it. I apologize. But you are correct, I was wondering if there was an easy way to just use readfile to read the bookmarks file, but I looks like I'll be having to get the info from the sqllite db instead. (At least that's what I'm thinking at the moment now that I know what file the bookmarks are stored in)
