As of Firefox 3, bookmarks are saved in a places.sqlite database file instead of the usual bookmarks.html file. This breaks functionality with some extensions and, more importantly, application launchers like Launchy and Find and Run Robot. To fix this, you can configure Firefox 3 to auto-export your bookmarks to your bookmarks.html file. To do this, enter about:config in your browser location bar and change the browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML key to true. Now when you exit Firefox, your bookmarks will be written to your bookmarks.html file for your extensions and app launchers to use.
