Bookmarks are not being saved since DeepFreeze whipes out the information upon logout or reboot. Is there any way I can get firefox version 4 or 5 to save and APPEND a list of bookmarks instead of overwriting them?

We are using DeepFreeze on our Engineering lab computers. It does not let students save/change anything except in the thawspace provided as a T: drive. Each time you start firefox it will be as if it is brand new with zero bookmarks. I have redirected the profile to be stored on the T: drive, but through experimentation, when firefox exits it overwrites the backup and export as Html files and you end up only having a list of the most recent bookmark files.

I have played with making batch files to copy and append the exported bookmarks into one combined file, but I end up with multiple screens of the bookmark screen, not just a list of the URLs.

So, is there any way I can get firefox to create an onging appended file that list all bookmarks? Or is there a way I can create a batch file to copy the bookmarks into one appended file?

If places.sqlite isn't found then Firefox restores the bookmarks from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder. If there aren't any JSON backups as well then Firefox looks for a bookmarks.html file in the main profile folder to restore the bookmarks from. A JSON backup is only created on startup, but you can make Firefox create an HTML backup each time you close Firefox by setting the pref browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to true.
