Sharing bookmarks between Win 7 and Kubuntu

[Salgoth]

Anybody know a way to do this without third-party apps or extensions? I tried sharing the entire profile except that some extensions don't work that way so I need to just share the bookmarks only.

Would this be of any help?

Thanks, but I've already tried using the same profile via -ProfileManager which causes some extensions to behave poorly. I've also added the "browser.bookmarks.file" string to my about:config in my Kubuntu FF profile and have it pointing to my WIN 7 FF profile.

I'm wondering if the change to places.sqlite is causing this to be more difficult than it should be.

Hmmm....

FF 3 took out support for using the about:config string to let two profiles use the same bookmarks. :no:

Now I'm wondering if a Symlink from my Kubuntu FF profile to the places.sqlite database file in my Windows 7 profile would do essentially the same thing?

Anybody familiar with symlinks? What I'm thinking of doing is having the places.sqlite file in the Kubuntu profile link to the places.sqlite file in the Windows 7 profile.

Any experienced help appreciated!

Any reason you don't want to use extensions?

Xmarks is ideal for this, works brilliantly and you can access them from any browser too.

Or Mozilla Weave.

Both Xmarks and Weave rely on an external server - I'm trying to do something internal. I've got Xmarks installed now and it does work well, but I'd rather have an internal solution that doesn't rely on an extension.

You can set Xmarks for your own server, and Weave also, I'm pretty sure.
