[arch-general] What file provides the links shown by Firefox's "speed dial"
Hi, from backups I want to find former links that were shown by Firefox's "speed dial" (or what ever it's named) and that never where pinned. Before I search backups, I want to know where to find the entries in the current Firefox files. I had no success when taking a look at e.g. $ sqlitebrowser ~/.mozilla/firefox/ihwxvng5.default/places.sqlite Does anybody know where to look? Does anybody know a sqlite browser that could sort moz_places and other data by anything else instead of the id? Regards, Ralf
I bet these are generated form the history... Szymon Szydełko

That's my thought too, they aren't separated listed, but generated by a rule. Since Firefox's history search doesn't work very good, I at least hoped that searching the history by sqlitebrowser would be more comfortable, but it seem not to provide sorting. I suspect I have to add new Firefox profiles and then to copy the default profile from backups to those new profiles, to find the links I search. Some time ago I already switched to qupzilla, because it's similar to Firefox, but the history search is closer to the outdated versions of Firefox, IOW much more usable.

Sqlitebrowser has a nice "Execute SQL" tab that gives you all you need. Try with: select * from moz_places order by frecency desc;
