Automated Export Firefox Bookmark as HTML

🔖 Automated Export Firefox Bookmark as HTML

To go to Firefox's configuration settings, type the following in Firefox's search bar:

about:config

When you set this setting to true in the Firefox configuration, Firefox saves this as a .html file on your system every time it is closed, if there is a change in this file, that is, if a change is made in your bookmarks.

browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML = true

To change the file path where the file to be exported will be saved, you will need to set a path directory depending on the value of this configuration. (it is an old configuration)

browser.bookmarks.file = "/path/to/save/file"

To synchronize the file path, you can put it in a special file path and automate it, for example, you can backup using rsync or using a different method. Maybe a script or firefox extension can be developed for this.
