Is there a way to limit the content of the bookmarkbackups folder?

Hi Folks, I'm wondering if there is a way (an extension or add-on) which controls the number of bookmark backups in the profile/bookmarkbackups folder, while still keeping the last 2 or three such files current? I'd like it if I didn't have to clean out the older than three day files before my periodic backups of this folder. Many thanks in advance... Mark

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.

Filter = browser.bookmarks.max_backups = default is 10, change to what you want by right-click and select Modify. Then restart Firefox.
