Hmmm. I just learned something new. I did not know that
places.sqlite contains all the bookmarks. I thought only
Bookmarks.html contained the bookmarks.

By the way, you do not care about your browsing history?
I find it very useful when I want to type-in the URL
myself in the address bar, and firefox pops up matching
suggestions and I select the one that matches. This is
a very nice feature for web pages that have long URL's,
and you do not always want to consult the bookmarks to
see where is that page you bookmarked.

Good luck,

JD
