Last but not least you can extract the bookmarks from the .json file. If you wanna do that, I can provide a macro file for nedit, an old but great text editor. With this macro it will be easy to extract the URLs from the bookmarks file. Of course you have to insert every extracted URL into firefox and bookmark it. But I think this is better than to loose the bookmarks. I'm sure that this also can be done by a shell script but my knowledge of bash programming isn't good enough to write such a script. If you wanna do this, install app-editors/nedit and give me a hint. Then I'll post the macro and give you instructions how to load and execute the macro with nedit. -- Regards wabe
