Abstract: this small HTML/JS/CSS file is parsing the bookmarks.json file located in the Firefox profile directory and displays all of your bookmarks as HTML. This file can be set at a default home page and so you can choose any of your bookmarks with less clicks.

Note: This code has been programmed as an exercise to learn jQuery, but serves my own practical needs as well. The same effect (displaying bookmarks) can probably be archived by using a Firefox plugin, but I like it this way.
Usage:
What's next: I hope this code makes an interesting reading for jQuery novices. I'm happy to receive comments and improvements to this code.
Dirty PR: see the links on the right for other sites I've made.

Usage:
- Download the code and put it into your Firefox profile directory "bookmarkbackups" subfolder.
- Adjust the name of the bookmark file on line 58.
- Navigate to the file like this: file:///C:/Home/Mozilla/bookmarkbackups/view.html. The exact address will be different on your computer (how to find out).
- Optionally set this URL as a default.
