bookmark comments/descriptions
« on: October 21, 2016, 12:47 PM »
Have been searching for a tool to remove all comments from bookmarks. Have a lot of them and many have quite an amount of comment. I use my bookmarks with a filename that covers it. Is there any tool that can remove all depscriptions/comments from all my bookmarks (palemoon/firefox)? I checked Linkman and Linkstash but couldn't find it in there.

Any help appreciated.

  1. Export to bookmarks.html
  2. Load into a text editor capable of RegEx replacement (eg. Notepad2-mod)
  3. Search and Replace as follows (adjust as required):

  4. Import back into Firefox/Pale Moon
