Bookie

This is a project aimed to automate the process of adding and administrating bookmarks for Firefox.

Requirements

• Python 3
• Firefox version >= 3

Usage

$ python3 app.py [browser] [profile]

[browser] currently only supports 'firefox'.

[profile] Can be found by browsing about:profiles. Looks like kyy5y7i1.default-release.

For usage of this script without any modification, Bookie will use the bookmarks-example.yml file as reference to which bookmarks to create.

This script will append bookmarks to the existing bookmarks in your filefox profile.
