how can i create an application to read all my browser (firefox) history? i noticed that i have in
C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\646vwtnu.default
what looks like a sqlite database (urlclassifier3.sqlite) but i don’t know if its really what is used to store de history information. i searched for examples on how to do this but didn’t find anything.
ps: although the title is similar i believe this question is not the same as ‘How do you access browser history?’
I believe
places.sqliteis the one you should be looking into for history (Firefox 3). Below are a couple of Mozilla wiki entries that have some info on the subject.In earlier versions of Firefox they stored history in a file called
history.dat, which was encoded in a format called ‘Mork’. This perl script by Jamie Zawinski can be used to parse Mork files.
