That means download installers for whatever Firefox extensions you think you will need now and save them as backup copies.

Doesn't SM keep the downloaded extension installers locally? In its profile it does, but the names are not always easy to recognize.

Have made progress :]
BUT creating useful output in JSON format acceptable to SeaMonkey
unlikely :[
Boo! Hiss!!
Sorry about that
Have you looked at a JSON file even after pretty printing with "jq"?
HOWEVER I expect I'll be able to create a HTML file which can serve
nicely as bookmarks. That was one of my initial alternative goals.
SeaMonkey used to, natively, I think, do this!!
Yes, Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks then, in the Bookmark Manager,
Tools->Export HTML
Yes, *BUT*!
The way they chose to display the HTML hides much of the hierarchical
stucture of nested bookmarks. Whether or not I delete a specific URL
reference depends on where it is in the structure. I have some
intentional duplications.
My path to that will depend on Linux tools. I suspect similar tools
exist in Windows. I will be creating a description of my combination
of scripts and manual edits.
I suspect that this could be done in jq with an expert's skill set.
My goals include:
1. Create a HTML file with hierarchy *CLEARLY* visible.
2. Create a text file of duplicated URLs and how many times
each appears.
3. Create a tool to ease removal of duplicates from *MY* HTML.
4. I might possibly perhaps investigate creating an HTML file
SeaMonkey could import. Enough qualifiers there??
My _preliminary_ TCL [not quite pre-alpha] is:
# Input is SeaMonkey bookmark file pretty printed with "jq '.' ..."
set infile "pretty_json.txt"
# the format of "useful.txt" not yet defined
set outfile "useful.txt"
set fd_in [open $infile r]
set fd_out [open $outfile w]
set children "\"child"
set uri"\"uri\":"
set title "\"title"
set rbracket \]
set mylist [list $children $uri $title $rbracket]
while { ! [eof $fd_in] } {
gets $fd_in b_line
set a_line [string trimleft $b_line]
set c_line [string range $a_line 0 5]
set x [lsearch $mylist $c_line]
switch $x {
1 {procedure1}
2 {procedure2}
3 {procedure3}
4 {procedure4}
}
}
close $fd_in
close $fd_out
