Well, Apple are doing a good job of pushing people away from Safari by utterly crippling its support for extensions in v13, but Firefox is always going to be less popular in communities like Alfred's as long as it has no support for AppleScript.

Is there actually a bookmarks.html file in that directory (i.e. at /Users/aawoepifj/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/vthbw7qx.default/bookmarks.html)? Try restarting Firefox again.

aawoepifj Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Ah, think I found the issue. It looks like firefox is using a default-release profile - not sure how that was generated or chosen. edit - how could I point the workflow to that profile? edit2 - nevermind I got it Thanks deanishe, this workflow should be more than enough until Firefox makes their bookmarks easier for the team to work with. Especially since you can hotkey it and avoid the need for the ff prefix. Thanks so much! Edited October 11, 2019 by aawoepifj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylast Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Surely Alfred can add GUI preferences for users to add Firefox Bookmarks & History without all these gymnastics?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue isn’t Alfred, it’s Firefox. Firefox is a terrible browser for any kind of automation (at least on macOS). As another example, it’s the only major browser that doesn’t support AppleScript. Unfortunately, the developers at Mozilla consider those “features for power users that regular users don’t care about” (I’m paraphrasing, but that reason has been given to me) and fail to understand that power users build on those, allowing new abilities for regular users. They complain that nobody uses Firefox, but when you explain why (on macOS there are several things that do not exist or don’t work properly), they mostly ignore it. There’s only so much we can do. You need to make your voice heard on Firefox’s side, not on the side of the tools that don’t support Firefox, because those mostly don’t lack Firefox support by choice, they lack it because Firefox makes it hard or impossible.

tylast Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Got it...thanks for the explanation. I've commented on the 18+ year old bug at Mozilla. Anyone else who cares should post there too. Edited January 27, 2020 by tylast Added link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
