~/.config/qupzilla/profiles/default/bookmarks.json is the operable file for qupzilla (I think). I do not know the history or many details of qupzilla, I emerged it and it works, without the politics of larger browsers; ymmv. Palemoon, is something you know far more about, but my guess is:: ~/.moonchild productions/pale moon/vjhi8n7h.default/places.sqlite which is in non-text form. I'm not sure how the 'profile' works to control these bookmarks? These files are differnt, so a simlink is not going to work? I rather like the json file as it is efficient and easy to read for comprehension and grepping. I'm not quite sure why a sqlite file is needed. I did find a sqlite browser some years ago for looking at those kinds of files but not sure where (what package) it is in now. Perhaps a script to tranlate either sqlite entries into a json form, or vice-versa could make these (2) work? If it worked, one could bounce between these or even other 'simpler' browsers as all of the 'market leading browers:: firefox, opera, chrome,etc' all seem to overtly complicate everything, have a political agenda, or are just a turnoff to use. A uniform bookmarks system, where the user masters and controls their bookmarks, beyond any browser uses, is a keen idea, imho. thanks for your insight into Palemoon and your hard work with Palemoon to benefit gentoo users. I' going to just install PM-27.3 via the octopus repo. It just seems that I have to change repos to get the latest palemoon ebuild, and I'm scratching my heads as to why one repos does not always offer the latest ebuilds, as soon as they are release, at least as testing ebuilds?
