Using the Firefox Search Bar in Other Applications

Question

I want to create a deskbar ' plugin that will search for Firefox history and bookmarks. location-bar firefox search is ideal instead of making a simple sql query to the firefox history and bookmark database.

Is there a way to get location search results through some programming interface that firefox provides so I can use it to develop before this plugin plugin?

Answer 1

I think you can directly access the places.sqlite database file in your Firefox profile.
