[Conkeror] And how do you rename a bookmark?

[Martin Dybdal]

As far as I know it isn't directly possible to rename them with
Conkeror. And also, the names you give to the bookmark is currently
saved, but not searchable or in any other way displayed by Conkeror
(not intentional of course).

If you have the Firefox 3.0 beta, then you can copy the
~/.conkeror.mozdev.org/conkeror/<profile>/places.sqlite into your
Firefox profile (remember to backup the existing places.sqlite file
there, if you don't want to loose anything). Then you can use the
Firefox bookmark manager to delete/change/add files and then copy the
updated places.sqlite file back into the conkeror profile. The
places.sqlite both contains bookmarks and browsing history.

I'll add a section about bookmarking on the wiki.
