Not a great solution, but better than nothing.. assuming "manage bookmarks" eventually does load all your bookmarks and you can export your bookmarks as html (tools / export html). Run a script to show all the dups so you know what can be deleted: $ cat findDupBookmarks.sh #!/bin/sh # input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file BMF="$1" # bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists grep '[^>]*>//' |\ sort | uniq -d $ findDupBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html https://lite.qwant.com/ or you can list your bookmarks and run it thru a dead link checker or somesuch to find things to be deleted or changed to point to archive.org $ cat listBookmarks.sh #!/bin/sh # input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file BMF="$1" # bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists egrep '( *//'\ -e 's/^ *~~'\ -e 's/">[^>]*>//' $ listBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html | head -5 --SeaMonkey and Mozilla http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ --mozilla.org http://www.mozilla.org/ http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ Regards, Lee ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
