Hi everyone,

In the objective to create a "Bookmark Wiki" for the employe of my society, I use a Xmarks account to synchronise and publish bookmarks.

I want to have two folders in my local bookmark, one for the "Bookmark Wiki" which will be synchronise with Xmarks and one other for my personnal bookmark.

Problem : Some of the Bookmark Wiki sub-folder must have the same content that some personnal sub-folders and must be synchronize between them.

The best solution according to me is a system of symbolic link, in order that a folder point directly in another folder.

Actually, it seams that firefox can't do that, so I suggest an improvement on this point.

I tried to edit the places.sqlite, moz_bookmarks table, to replace parent field "34" on "34,55,65" but fail. It's worth the try.

I can also be interested by a greasemonkey or a addon that periodically synchronize content of two folders.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
