With the advent of Firefox 3, everybody is talking about the new bookmark system. Most like it, while some don’t. But the major confusion among the new people who have started using Firefox 3 is the question, where are the Firefox 3 bookmarks stored or saved?
Where were bookmarks saved before?
In Firefox 2, the bookmarks were stored in bookmarks.html file under C: Users –> <User Name> –> AppData –> Roaming –> Mozilla –> Firefox –> Profiles –> (some random characters.default ex 2xd8htj.default) –> Bookmarks.html
Even though you find this file in Firefox 3, you may find that it doesn’t have the latest bookmarks you have added in Firefox. You may find only the imported bookmarks in that file. That’s because Firefox 3 bookmarks are not stored in the same way it was stored before. (Note: You can tweak Firefox 3 to save bookmarks in bookmarks.html also)
Where are bookmarks saved in Firefox 3 now?
It stores both the bookmarks and the history as the database with the help of SQLite. This is the reason why Firefox 3 is able to add tags to the bookmarks and the awesomebar is able to list the suggestions as per most visited links. This also enable Firefox 3 to handle these requests very fast. SQLite database bookmark system was added since Firefox 3 Alpha 5 – Mozilla Development Center.
So in the same place where you found bookmarks.html, you will find places.sqlite and this is the database which handles all the Firefox 3 bookmarks.
So what is JSON and what has to do with Bookmarks?
JSON is JavaScript Object Notation which is a data-interchange format. In the same folder where you found places.sqlite, you will find a folder called bookmarkbackups which has backups of Firefox 3 bookmarks. In case you lose your database or it gets corrupted, you can import these files through Bookmarks –> Organize Bookmarks –> Import and Backup –> Import. So this just serves as your backup and this is not where primarily the Firefox 3 bookmarks are stored.
So now how to view bookmarks in places.sqlite?
The best way is to install the SQLite Manager addon which helps to view all the 11 tables that are present in the bookmark database. This includes table for history, favicons, keywords, bookmarks root etc.
Once you install the addon, click Connect Database and browse to select places.sqlite and you can view all the bookmarks in the table moz_bookmarks. If you prefer to do it this way, you can also manually add, edit or delete bookmarks through this table.

is any tool inside firefox to remove history from places.sqlite?
@amm, are you referring how to remove browsing history? you can go to Tool -> Options -> Privacy tab -> Private Data -> Clear Now -> Check only browsing history and say Ok to remove history from places.sqlite.
Its similar to what it was in Firefox 2. See me earlier post for more details.
Nice post. Do you know is it possible to upload bookmark data to an FTP server, like Bookmark Sync plugin did it in ff 2.0?
It is unfortunate that bookmarks.html, useful for synchronization and directly readable, was replaced by a DB. One has to start Firefox and export bookmarks from places.sqlite before synchronizing with other browsers. Why that? I have no interest in awesomebar and “suggestions as per most visited links”.
The trick described above
works, but is does not allow automatic synchronization with Firefox 3: You have to import the synchronized file into places.sqlite manually each time. I will convert to Firefox 2 for now and check how synchronization-friendly is Opera.

How does one remove the ‘most visited’ link? I like to save my toolbar for special bookmarks and I don’t need ‘most visited.’
I much prefer the bookmarks system in Firefox 2; it is much easier and quicker to manage.
I am profoundly unhappy with this.
I just upgraded from FF2 to FF3. Upon reboot, I found that I am missing about 1/3 of my bookmarks. Essentially, all my last six weeks’ worth.
This shouldn’t have happened. It happened, so it should be easy for me to fix. It isn’t. I don’t want to configure a database just to recover bookmarks. I just want the bookmarks I had saved, displaying in the left pane, where I expect to see them. This is as unexpected and unwelcome as a russian porn virus on my hard disk drive. I refuse to consider it an improvement. This is insane.
I’m use to the “bookmarks.html” file storing my bookmarks. That is very handy because I can easily backup my bookmarks (which are valuable to my work). I was getting quite frustrated trying to figure out why my Firefox 3 “bookmarks.html” file didn’t store my bookmarks, and this post was very helpful in shedding light on the situation.
Of course, now I’m stuck without a convenient way to backup my bookmarks. I suppose I can just backup the whole “bookmarkbackups” folder, but then I’m backing up a bunch of old files I don’t care about. Annoying.
It’s crazy to have to install a SQLite Manager extension just to manage some bookmarks…
How to trash the world’s best browser?
Answer: prevent it from saving any new bookmarks
way to go mozilla!
good thing google just came out with a new browser. I’m going to check it out and I bet it even SAVES NEW BOOKMARKS.
You guys are complete losers for releasing version 3 in this condition ROFL
It’s the natural succession of most companies, right at the point when they start losing their customer base and eventually start wondering what happened. They start out by making a product and adding features that users ask for. But then something happens; the company turns away from it’s core purpose of trying to satisfy it’s customers and instead turns to dictating to the users what they are going to get, whether they want it or not. And really, regardless of whether Firefox uses an HTML file or database, it’s still just a file on a hard drive. It doesn’t matter where that file resides, which brings to point that Mozilla purposely and intentionally removed the feature of being able to store and retrieve bookmarks from a different location. See ya Mozilla, it’s been fun…

I do not see the database file mentioned in the post. Running a search for “places” and “places.sqlite” also brings up nothing. I am running Firefox 3.0.1 and have the SQLite Manager extension installed. Any suggestions?
How to trash a perfectly good browser. Release Firefox 3. The new bookmarks sucks. What are these triangles instead of the simple signs next to the folders? Totally confusing and I will be looking for a better browser. Why don’t you just leave things alone. If it aint broke why fix it?
I have been a user of Firefox for many years but not after this version. Bookmarks html file is corrupted and now I have to figure it out in this insane crap SQLITE add on. How do you add these bookmarks back where they need to be?
Manually search by name in a search engine and add that way? Why is it every time a good product comes out they get ruined by jerks who think they have a better idea. If anyone can give a better way to recover these it would be appreciated.
This is a terrible “improvement” The only means left for me is to use the Foxmarks add-on and send my IP address and who knows what else to a server somewhere with the promise they won’t data mine. What a lame idea.
I’m de-installing this browser until some local import is available.
It would appear that some of you are incorrectly assuming that you must manage your bookmarks with SQLite.
You simply use the nifty “Organize Bookmarks” option under “Bookmarks” in Firefox 3, which is *exactly* how you did it in Firefox 2. Just like with FF2, you can change, re-folder (via drag-and-drop), and easily delete any and all bookmarks.
Coop – if you want to “copy” your bookmarks from one computer to another without a tool like Weave or Foxmarks, simply go to “Bookmarks” -> “Organize Bookmarks” -> “Import and Backup”. Backup the computer you want to copy, then take that file to the other computer you want to update and import. You get the same type of json file, depending on the options you choose to use.
None of the gripes I read in this comment thread seems to be really legitimate. This post was meant for hackers who want to see the “behind the scenes” storage mechanism now employed in FF3, if that isn’t what you came here to read, then you need to keep looking for whatever it was you *were* looking for.
Personally, I like the new system in FF3 (as well as pretty much everything else about FF3 over FF2). The old bookmark system in FF2 was painfully slow if you more than a couple hundred bookmarks.
I cannot stress enough how much I loathe and despise the “new improved” bookmarking. I cannot rename. I cannot sort by name. I cannot put folders in the order I want. I cannot easily and intuitively organize my bookmarks. What happened to the simple drag and drop windows explorer type interface? – it was great, intuitive and WORKED. Everything is 10x more difficult now – and a lot of it DOESN’T WORK. Creating a bookmark takes so many more steps now it’s ridiculous. And the whole tags thing – give me a break. I look at the new bookmarking scheme in Firefox 3 and one word leaps to mind – moronic. I’ve been using Firefox since beta and I trust you guys – never occurred to me that Firefox 3 wouldn’t be great – used to love working with Firefox. Now when I have to deal with bookmarks, I feel sick to my stomach. I keep thinking someone in charge will wake up and fix it back to usable, but I’m beginning to see that is just not happening. Anyone know where I can get an earlier version of Firefox so I can roll back? It’s that or Safari – and I really don’t like Safari – but at least it doesn’t make me so frustrated that I feel ill.
James:
Let me clarify. When I installed FF3, it presented me with a bookmarks file that was a third the size of my FF2 bookmarks file, and had dropped about the last five months’ of my FF2 bookmarks.
I set out to fix this, but was stopped.
I couldn’t update my new FF3 bookmarks file because my old FF2 bookmarks file apparently didn’t exist on my computer any more.
As a techie, you probably know it is a hidden file or that there is some convoluted command path I can follow to recover part of the data, or maybe you even have the name of an FF developer who knows the magic command I need to know, in order to fix this problem.
As a user; I am simply disgusted. This kind of installation screw-up shouldn’t ever happen. If it does happen; the fix ought to be easy and obvious to nine out of ten users.
Nosing around, I discovered that FF3 had apparently installed some kind of database holding bookmarks, history, urls visited and all sorts of things that would be interesting to angry girlfriends, suspicious parents, judgemental teachers, merciless employers and the always-tender attentions of ad companies, google, and the FBI.
As an example of the kind of problems that await FF3 users with angry girlfriends; do you know that FF3 collected FORTY-FOUR LINKS for automatically served advertising popup windows from TribalFusion on my URL Location bar, in five days? Do you think I “visited” tribalFusion EVEN ONCE? Why is TribalFusion in my mystery FF3 database 44 times?
The FF3 Bookmarks database is not a feature. It is an intrusion on my privacy that destroyed a good bookmarks file in order to install itself. It has since turned into a serious FF3 bug.

You CAN still sync your bookmarks (just not the same as syncing the html file).
go get foxmarks. With this extension you can use their servers, or point to one of your severs (webdav for example).
“With the advent of Firefox 3, everybody is talking about the new bookmark system. Most like it, while some don’t.”
Most like it?
You should get a job writing for FOX News.
Just migrated to FF3 and just discovered the new bookmark system when tried to import bookmarks to have two synchronized FF3 on my two machines.
Shortest way I’ve found to do that is to delete places.sqlite on PC 2, then open FF3 to let it automatically re-create the file (empty), then import FF3 bookmarks from PC 1 (previously exported in HTML format).
I’m very picky about bookmark management (well, I have now about 2000 URLs bookmarked …) and on the whole I’m not happy with a radical change on the system, but if it works …
I really hope that Lunarmark offline bookmark synchronizer still works well with FF3 HTML-exported bookmarks! This should allow to do the above described operation to synchronize two FF3 every time you need to.
I am finding the search options very useful, ie if you use the “tags” input box, the bookmarks will pop up by just typing in the tag. I don’t even bother to sort the bookmarks any more, just tag them. (And you can use multiple tags)
My only complaint is that when exported to HTML I can’t get the tags to export. Anyone managed to make this happen? Is there any add-on which performs this very useful function?
Dear James: You sound like you actually like ff3 bookmarks. I would not be on this site if I could get ff3 bookmarks to work like ff2. I have used firefox almost ten years, and I am 0ver 60 years old, but I think firefox just jumped into a hole. I am looking for a browser that is as functional as Mozilla but has a bookmarking system like ff2. In tools they need to add a ,(return to ff2 bookmarking system), addition. In my opinion this one is brain damaged and unusable. Something you have used for years is intuitive, as it was from the start. This ff3 is nonintuitive, and unfunctional when finally figured out after major frustration.
hey i was looking everywhere for this and im glad i found it. i am very thank full.
I know zilch about SQL no matter how lite it is. Anyway, I have 3400 BM that I have collected/imported/exported since the early 90s. I wish to export all of these that now reside in FF3 as an *.html file so that I can tweak the contents. Once tweaked, the BM in FF would be deleted and the tweaked *html file would be imported. However, through SQL Manager or FF Organize BM, I can find no way to and delete; can only delete one-by-one. It also appears that one simply cannot delete PLACES.SQLITE because history, et al., is married to it. My question is, any way to delete just the BM with one stroke v. one-by-one?
Thanks, Monk
My previous post was stripped of bracketed comments. I cannot find where I can select all and delete with one stroke v. select-delete, select-delete, select-delete 3400 times.
Have to agree, first Google with the stupid sidebar, and now the “new improved” FireFox 3. Regardless of the tools for storing bookmarks, something that was transparent and simple is no longer so. Now we have flame wars about user competency, lots of geek speak, and Help desk blather. It makes me crazy – all I want is for my FF2 bookmarks to appear like they did in FF3. Even after I Imported my FF2 bookmarks, FF3 won’t store them, so far I’ve had to re-import them every time I launch. Right now I can hear some Help desk geek saying “What an idiot doesn’t he know, it’s so simple, just add this extension, just do blip blip blip and blip and you should be OK – Oh it didn’t work, well must be something wrong with your system” FFS yesterday everything was working fine and now I’m pissed. I hope FF/Mozilla tracks the forum, because the earlier comment about the life cycle of a software company was spot on. I’m going to check out the other browsers, Explorer and Opera must be licking their chops and laughing their asses off
Ditto. Working for a school district we used the browser.bookmarks.file option in about:config to have Firefox 2 save student and staff bookmarks to their network home directory. That way they always had their bookmarks regardless of where they logged in.
I’d really like my 3,000 users to have the option of using FF with their travelling bookmarks rather than telling them they need to use IE.
Mozilla, Please give us the option to revert back to the FF2 method of bookmark storage locations.
Total crap…
First when up grading to Firefox 3 most of my Bookmarks were missing, after managing to re-import them I now have them all in triplicate!! Great stuff Firefox guys!!!
After manually sorting that mess out I now have a new problem.
When I try to bookmark any page now.. Firefox 3 only offers me 3 folder options. the “Book marks Menu”, the Bookmarks Tool bar” or my “Photoshop Plugins” folder and that’s it..
There is also a “choose” folder option but when I click it that only gives me the two already mentioned or the “Unsorted Bookmarks” folder.
All my other 50 highly organized folders are non existent!
So I guess If i want to save that Italian pasta recipe I could always find it in my “Photoshop Plugins” directory..
Bloody brilliant.
Goodbye Firefox..

Wow… Most of the people here are really stupid… Its like none of you understand how to use a computer.. But, I understand, I work with people on computers all day and iv seen worse.. (read on for bookmark tips)
Im with James.. (Oct 1st, 2008 at 12:18 pm)
Its VERY easy to manage bookmarks. Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks.. Or you can just right click to add folders and whatever… Also, to get rid of Most Visited (i cant believe people didnt see this..) Bookmarks>Bookmarks Toolbar>Right click “Most Visted” and delete. Or you can simply do that in “Organize Bookmarks.
And, just a little tip, When in Organize Bookmarks, to add a folder you need to right click “Bookmarks Menu.” Also, if you add folders to “Bookmarks Toolbar,” they will show up on your little “quick-bookmarks” thing and you can click the folder and a little drop-down menu will show all of your bookmarks in that folder, pretty useful.
And to someone who said they couldnt add bookmarks to other folders (above me *scrap*)….. I have no idea what they were talking about.. Maybe you need to make a folder first???? (Create a new folder while adding a new bookmark easily by clicking “Choose” and then “New Folder”)
I hope this helped clear up some problems people are having, even if my attitude is a little annoyed. I just dont like it when people bash something when they dont know how to use it.. Especially when its simple.
By the way, GREAT article. Exactly what i was looking for.
Dear Anonymous,
identified by your first sentence:
“Wow… Most of the people here are really stupid… Its like none of you understand how to use a computer.. But, I understand…”
You don’t seem to understand what the discussion is about. It is not about how to make a new folder. People are annoyed by certain features of FF3, which are on by default and difficult to get rid of. Furthermore, many found out that FF3 hides some logging from the user. Your suggestions solves part of the first problem but is useless concerning the second.
Deleting Most Visited does not stop the annoying autocompletion as long as the URLs are in your Bookmarks. You my install some Add-on or set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to 0, but the list remains stored somewhere, you can restore! You have to set both browser.urlbar.matchBehavior and browser.urlbar.maxRichResults. When you know so much about computers: do you know a better solution?
To me and others, it is not OK that so much effort is needed to restore standard behavior. “Awesome bar” is a pretty child of FF developers. Some users will like it, most user will tolerate it, some will find out how to turn it of. In a long run it may help Opera et al.

Hi
I’ve a problem. I’ve reinstalled Reimaged my computer after a big issue. I had not the time to export the bookmarks from firefox. I reinstalled firefox 3 and was able to find the bookmarks database under my old profile. The problem is how can I retrieve my bookmarks from the database and access them as before directly from Firefox.
PS: I installed SQLite plugin and found the DB but I don’t know how to import it.
Thanks.
I used to have my bookmarks.html as my home page and I was able to EDIT THE FILE!
Now after 6 months of using Firefix 3 I’m still trying to regain that ability.
I understand why the devs went with SQLite. But It really slows the process of saving bookmarks. There is just TOO MANY unnecessary clicks.
Please Mozilla go back to flat files. Let Firefox read from bookmarks.html at startup and you can still have your DB.
I don’t like this at all. Having my customized homepage file is why I like Firefox 2
when I “organize bookmarks” trying to change the bookmarks toolbar
all that I see are the rss feeds. you can’t organize what you can’t
see. piece of crap.
try this:
root@abitbox:~# sqlite3 ~/path/to/places.sqlite .dump > ~/path/to/places.dump.sql
root@abitbox:~# rm ~/path/to/places.sqlite
root@abitbox:~# sqlite3 ~/path/to/places.sqlite < ~/path/to/places.dump.sql
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS GARBAGE! I JUST WANT TO DELETE SOME DAMN BOOKMARKS, YOU SCUM – JUST DELETE SOME BOOKMARKS! YOU TELL ME TO INSTALL THIS STUPID SQLITE AND BROWSE FOR PLACES.SQLITE BUT PLACES.SQLITE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! NOWHERE! NOWHERE! NOWHERE! NOWHERE!NOWHERE! NOWHERE! NOWHERE! NOWHERE! NOWHERE! I JUST SEARCHED MY ENTIRE C DRIVE! THE ENTIRE C DRIVE! AND PLACES.SQLITE DOES NOT COME UP! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE A COMPUTER EXPERT OR EVEN BARELY COMPUTER LITERATE TO FIND ANYTHING ON MY DAMN COMPUTER! AND I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT! YOU HAVE SENT ME INTO A MURDEROUS RAGE! YOU HAVE STOLEN VALUABLE HOURS OF MY LIFE! YOU HAVE CAUSED ME TO DESPISE YOU WHERE BEFORE I LIKED YOU! YOURT BROWSER IS HORRENDOUS! YOU ARE HORRENDOUS PEOPLE! I WANT YOU TO HAVE CANCER! I WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO HAVE CANCER! I WANT YOUR SPOUSES, LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS TO ALL HAVE CANCER! Got that? If I do not get to delete any bookmark I have, no matter when I saved it, simply by going to where it’s at and hitting delete then you are officially a piece of worthless trash. Now get your useless butts in there and redesign this software to make it easy for users to do what they want directly. You have violated the CARDINAL RULE of software design, you have stepped back in time to the old DOS days, where obscure and bizarre programming garbage that thrilled only geeks is what computers were about. THOU SHALT DESIGN ALL SOFTWARE SO THAT ANY USER CAN EASILY ACCESS ALL INFORMATION AND MANIPULATE IT AS THEY SEE FIT! I dare you to justify your decisions! EXPLAIN THIS TO ME! NOW! I should not have to wait for a reply!!!!! You have thwarted me. You have personally injured me. You are KILLING me! You should NEVER take my time! Your idiotic browser, like all software, should be INVISIBLE! Users should be allow to just do what they want on their computer without configuring it like this and for those who want to configure like this, THEY should have to dig and be frustrated, NOT REGULAR USERS WHO ARE INTERESTED ONLY IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THEIR COMPUTER AND NOT THE STUPID COMPUTER ITSELF! See, idiots, let me clue you in on the True Nature of Computers: They are to be used like one uses the family car, when you need groceries you hop into the car, drive to the store, buy your grocers, then haul them home. You should NOT have to rewire the damn thing every time you get into it! But that is precisely what you are doing here. I’m… dead. That’s it. You beat me; you killed me.
Yeah, and you guys really and truly ARE liars, just like another poster has suggested. “Most” do NOT like the new bookmarks. That is a bald-faced LIE! Virtually everyone complaining about this new Firefox is saying essentially the same thing I said before, so MY side wins and YOUR side loses. I literally hate and despise everyone who works for Mozilla right now. I wish I could look your right in the eye and tell you personally because you would be very frightened right now by the look on my face and the tone in my voice. I am literally ORDERING YOU to fix the bookmarks system and you are going to COMPLY NOW! Please stop this pain I am in. I’m losing my damn mind here. Right now I think you people are equal to rapists.
I’ll take HTML Bookmarks over SQLite Bookmarking any day.
You can organize your bookmarks with Advanced URL Catalog a bookmark manager compatible with Firefox.
? free program and people are upset ???
I don’t understand you guys. I’m using FF3 right now and I just imported my old bookmarks from FF2 without problems. Marcadores -> Organizar marcadores… -> Importar y resguardar -> Importar HTML…
That was all.
So if you want your bookmarks.html or your bookmars in HTML just go to the same location but “Importar y resguardar” -> “Exportar HTML…” and save it in HTML format.
What is the problem?
I just was managed the bookmarks between the self “Bookmarks” menu using right clic over any item. Is that hard to do?
Adding some webpage to the bookmark is just a combination key (Ctrl+D) or go to “Marcadores” -> “Marcar esta página”. Like FF2.
My “problem”:
1. I Bookmark a site.
2. I can save it an a folder or wherever I want, that’s fine.
3. I open a new tab, start typing a site and I can see all my bookmarks in the browser bar that I have previously bookmarked. Whether I start typing or just use the drop down technique, I see all my bookmarks that I have saved.
4. I do not want to see my f****ing bookmarks as I type in the browser bar!!
5. I delete private data and cookies and everything and same thing. Bookmarks are still in the browser bar.
Question: How can I not see my bookmarks as I type in the browser bar AND if I use the drop down technique of the browser bar.
My bookmarks are screwed. They disappear and it’s impossible to add them sometimes.
When I do add them they are there when I look for them but after I close the browser they are gone.
I don’t need this crap and I shouldn’t have to tweak a bunch of stuff just to get something as basic as bookmarks working.
Thank you Stan…………..back to me..
I switched to Firefox 3 sometime last October, immediately ran into the bookmarks issue, after a couple of hours I dumped 3 and reloaded 2. I’m not going to 3 till bookmarks work like they do in 2.
Like RSDUSER (12/22/2008), I work at a school, where we would LIKE to provide “roaming” bookmarks (and more) to users who may sign on at any of hundreds of different computers over the course of a day or week or more. With “home directories” mapped at each login, if I could direct FFox to look to “Network share\Bookmarks.html” OR “Network share\sqllite.db” for bookmarks, and not force users to export on logoff and import on login to sync…. Well, let’s just say: “looks more like a ‘personal triumph’ for the programmers at FFox than a ‘requested feature/improvement’ by users…”
I do think some of you software developers have lost it. I’m trying to import bookmarks from Google Chrome to Firefox 3 for “security reasons for banking” ( I think it has lost my bank bookmark, but at my advanced age can’t be sure I had it bookmarked. Google chrome is better than OK, I’m using it all the time (except for banking).
The wizard wont do it, and no browsing option!
No problem I’ll just export the Chrome bookmarks and then manually patch together the two bookmark files, done it before with various browsers. Can’t find the Firefox file in my brand new version.
Google how to do it.
Oh hell!
Firefox must have used the same software developers microsoft used on Vista.
Hi, all,
I’m using FF since it was first released and am still very happy with version 3 today.
Recently my hard disk crashed and i had to recover Windows XP from the very beginning. One of the first things to install again was FF3.
Right now I tried to restore my valuable bunch of bookmarks and found out that the old bookmarks.html is no longer used to store bookmarks in FF.
Thanks to this article I knew which files I had to restore from my last backup. Then I opened bookmark manager and restored all my bookmarks from the latest .json-file in folder bookmarkbackups.
It worked perfectly, the are all back again!
Btw, I like new bookmark system very much, I like FF displaying matching bookmarks while I type web address. That’s very comfortable.
Now I will change my regular backup to include the complete FF profile directory.
