Firefox bookmarks exploration not going past first level with Javascript

Question

I\'ve written some code to explore my Firefox bookmarks but I only get the first level of bookmarks (i.e. I don\'t get the links in the folders).

e.g.

Answer 1

One obvious mistake is using toolbarFolder as a starting point - that's only the bookmarks toolbar. If you want all bookmarks (meaning bookmarks menu, bookmarks toolbar and unsorted bookmarks) you need to change query parameters:

query.setFolders([
    bookmarksService.bookmarksMenuFolder,
    bookmarksService.toolbarFolder,
    bookmarksService.unfiledBookmarksFolder
], 3);

The other issue is getting childCount property on a nsINavHistoryResultNode object - there is no such property. Before you can access properties of nsINavHistoryContainerResultNode you need to call QueryInterface, either explicitly or implicitly (via instanceof). So I would write:

} else if (node.type == 6 && node instanceof Components.interfaces.nsINavHistoryContainerResultNode) {
    var oldOpen = node.containerOpen;
    node.containerOpen = true;
    browse_bookmark_node(node, array);
    node.containerOpen = oldOpen;
}
