. . . and "Execute SQL" - click the "Play" button

It ran this together.

The code is supposed to be two rows, with no row in between:

SELECT a.id AS ID, a.title AS Title, b.url AS URL, datetime(a.dateAdded/1000000,"unixepoch","localtime") AS Date

FROM moz_bookmarks AS a JOIN moz_places AS b ON a.fk = b.id

I figured out how to do this using SQLite3 and a .BAT file . . . No database viewer is necessary!

I've summarized what to do in a PDF . . . uploaded to my Google Docs . . . Here's the link:

bookmarks-to-CSV.pdf . . . https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xYWPQtijqCzk-1nzTsTb0ZUVKYJNFokR

"Page 1" provides _all_ you need to know, to get your Bookmarks into a .CSV file (When you run the .BAT file, it won't do anything to your actual Bookmarks, it just extracts a copy of them.) Then, the next few pages provide the details of what's going on.

Credit for this SQL query goes to cor-el (please see page 4) . . . thank you!

I have an Excel macro that edits and appends them to another worksheet. Let me get a link to that . . . hang on . . .

So why are you asking this again when you have answers in : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1190466

Never make 2 questions , this is the same question, Change/Alter the title of your question to fit.

Easy, get, Avast and it will delete and convert them with out even asking.

I think that other link was preliminary to what I've figured out. I probably should have posted the above there . . . I have since improved on it, and want to share. I have something else to add tomorow or Friday.

Avast does it? How? Do you have a link?

I had to figure out how to do a Custom Ribbon in Excel, which will stay with the worksheet, and make it easy to run the macros.

Instructions for that, along with code for the .BAT files, are in a second pdf - the link is on this page:

Firefox Bookmarks to .xlsm [SOLVED] . . . https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/1040778-firefox-bookmarks-xlsm-solved.html

I put a link to a copy of the xlsm, there, also. Remarks in the VBA explain more of what the macros do.

Since VBA does most of it, I posted it there, in case someone wants to make comments, or has Excel questions.

I always wondered what a good application for Excel macros would be, and found it, working with the Bookmarks.
