This file will import into firefox. It's a good way to have the same bookmarks available on other computers. The only drawback is that the bookmarks are not added....they replace all your existing bookmarks on that copy of your profile...no biggie if you have one main computer that you try to replicate out to others. #!/bin/bash for file in *.json do cp -u $file /place/to/copy/bookmarks/ done um….am I the only one that has a daily backup of my bookmarks in .json format located in my profile under /bookmarkbackups?

However I couldn't get this solution to import back into Firefox (the entire point) and wound up going with the about:config trick after spending quite a bit of time trying to get this to work well.
