Bookmarks.html

bookmarks.html stores bookmarks. The Bookmarks Manager provides an interface to edit, import, and export this file.

Editing

Though it's usually not necessary to do so because of the UI provided, those knowledgable in HTML can edit this file. The file is a simple HTML structure that includes definition lists, anchors, and headers. A typical bookmarks.html bookmark contains the URL, name, and other meta data:

<DT><A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-CSS21-20040225/" 
 ADD_DATE="1079992089" LAST_VISIT="1132078168" LAST_CHARSET=
 "ISO-8859-1" ID="rdf:#$kLc2Z">Cascading Style Sheets, level
  2 revision 1</A>

As with any other file in the profile, the application should be closed before changes are made or else the changes will be overwritten.

Moving

This file can be moved to a different profile without any extra effort.

Deleting

Deleting bookmarks.html will delete your bookmarks. A new file containing the default bookmarks will be created on start up.
