On 19.06.2008 at 16:58, "David C. Rankin" I wonder what in the heck was wrong with the good old bookmarks.html storage? What of the old mantra, "If it's not broken DON'T fix it?" I am sure the reason has to do with being able to inject more ads by making it more difficult to remove the stuff that will no doubt be forced on you through a bookmark folder that is guaranteed to be in every ff browser. Pity.

Secondly, why not at least provide an option to keep the bookmarks in html or sqlite? I guess sqlite has benefits for users/organizations with 1000's of bookmarks. I doubt seriously there is any performance benefit for users with

20-50 bookmarks.

i'm sure there can be found plenty of reasons why to use SQLite against a flat HTML file. Like the auotmatic 'search' in it whenever you type something in the address bar. It will try to 'guess' what of your last visited and/or bookmarked sites you might want to visit. Try to implement something like this in a flat plain text file without good search capabilities. And there are plenty of tools out there to open/read/modify a SQLite database directly.. it's not, that the format is not well known and documented. Stop FUD please!
