Where can I find my key3.db ?

Hi I use several different Linux distros in all my machines. I am trying to merge my bookmarks for each OS in a computer into a file which I then will restore to all OSes.

I am hoping to edit that file myself, as I may at a later stage try to merge all bookmarks from all OSes in all machines.

So I am thinking of looking into key3.db files and see if I can come up with something, but I can't find the file in Artix. I have not tried other OSes yet.

I am running Firefox Browser 136.0; Mozilla Firefox for Artix Linux; artixlinux - 1.0

You do not need key3.db/key4.db files to work with bookmarks. Bookmarks are stored in the places.sqlite database file, and the daily automatic backups are stored in the bookmarkbackups folder in compressed .json files (.jsonlz4 extension).

I have a conversion tool for the compressed backup files: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/bookbackreader.html

Toward the bottom of Step 2, it has an option to convert to a tab-separated list of titles and URLs, which might be what you need for merging various files.
