New desktop icon: Linguistic handbook feeds backup.opml

Firefox Salvataggio dei dati

Following a restart, Firefox has installed this icon on my desktop: "Linguistic handbook feeds backup.opml", with the Firefox picture.

All it does it is take one to a browser page opening the file on my C drive, and saying blankly: Firefox Live Bookmarks. (Incidentally I cannot see this file listed anywhere under Mozilla in Programs or Programs , so I suppose it is nested in something else.)

I assume I can delete this without damaging Firefox for all eternity, but I am curious to know how it got onto my desktop.

I assume the "linguistic handbook" is not actually what it says but something to do with the many languages Firefox is translated into, yes ? - or does it really deal with catenatives, anaphora, kernel clauses, retorts (et al.) used as a test of auxiliary status, or whatever ?

It's not a Firefox internal file. It looks like a backup of your RSS feed. If you don't need it, it can be deleted.

@TyDraniu Many thanks. The odd thing is that I don't have an RSS feed, but what the hell..... Best, o.g.
