            Bug ID: 493696
           Summary: Importing bookmarks from Firefox: Specified path to
                    local places.sqlite file not correct in the Bookmark
                    Import Wizard
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Falkon
           Version: 24.08.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: senf at mailbox.org
  Target Milestone: ---

If you want to import the bookmarks of your local Firefox installation (here:
in my Tuxedo OS 3 installation, Firefox in version 130.0-1, provided by the
Tuxedo OS repositories) via the "Organize Bookmarks" Library window, the
following message is displayed to you:

"Importing from Mozilla Firefox: Mozilla Firefox usually stores its bookmarks
in places.sqlite SQLite Database. This file is usually located in
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox"

I checked the location of that places.sqlite file. It is located in the
following sub directory:

$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<generic letters and numbers>.default-release/

Where the folder name "<generic letters and numbers>.default-release" is
defined in the following file:

$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/installs.ini

I think the information about the location of the places.sqlite file is
outdated in the Bookmark Import Wizard and should get corrected there.
