I'm interested in querying places.sqlite for all the live bookmarks, however, I'm not familiar with this database. I exported the moz_places table, and ran grep on the insert statements:

INSERT INTO "moz_places" VALUES(25010,'https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=rss+cnn&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8',NULL,'moc.elgoog.www.',1,1,0,NULL,100,1413097582782753,'f0M0e2nfq_VJ'); INSERT INTO "moz_places" VALUES(25011,'https://www.google.ca/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=rss+cnn&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=bCg6VJ3VG4aV8Qf3l4GIBQ','rss cnn - Google Search','ac.elgoog.www.',1,0,0,29,100,1413097582971572,'wSZXfXwlnA1D'); INSERT INTO "moz_places" VALUES(25012,'http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2Fservices%2Frss%2F&ei=bCg6VKnXI6T2iwKU6IDwCA&usg=AFQjCNHn-O_p5INKrhV93aMu0ixmtAJ98w&sig2=b9tUj8pmaxx8zm0RGU3yCw&bvm=bv.77161500,d.cGE&cad=rjt',NULL,'ac.elgoog.www.',1,0,0,22,100,1413097587642068,'HRefGS2PSAEM'); INSERT INTO "moz_places" VALUES(25013,'http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/','RSS (Really Simple Syndication) - CNN.com','moc.nnc.www.',1,0,0,1344,100,1413097588038096,'p9dKse4VE4U1'); INSERT INTO "moz_places" VALUES(25014,'http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss','CNN.com - Top Stories','moc.nnc.ssr.',1,0,0,NULL,100,1413097596372991,'qq77Qsma7m5p'); thufir@dur:~/rss$ thufir@dur:~/rss$ cat moz_places.sql | grep "cnn"


so, those look like they're from the CNN feed -- good.

How would I do a proper query of the database for any and all such "live" bookmarks?

This might be better question on stackoverflow.com, but would a search for "rss" in the url string column be good?

You can use the SQLite Manager extension to generate a list.

  1. Open Profile Directory -> places.sqlite -> Go
  2. Hit the "Execute SQL" tab
  3. Use a SELECT like this:
SELECT moz_bookmarks.id, moz_bookmarks.title, moz_items_annos.content
FROM moz_bookmarks, moz_items_annos, moz_anno_attributes
WHERE (moz_bookmarks.id = moz_items_annos.item_id) AND (moz_items_annos.anno_attribute_id = moz_anno_attributes.id) AND (moz_anno_attributes.name LIKE 'livemark/feedURI')
ORDER BY moz_bookmarks.id ASC
