Bookmarks: find & replace feature request

I'd care to find specific criteria & replace same on a large scale from time to time.

I.e,. Search for 1'0.25.14.xxx' and then change all these (by pasting new network/URL locations of say '10.24.250.xxx') instead of editing each bookmark text one-by-one.

A 'Find & Replace' feature like a text editor has would be great - rather than export/manipulate/delete all former bookmarks/import amended bookmarks (or the tedious one-by-one method currently within bookmarks).

Now this opens a bookmark URL/Html file that goes to a page that you have created is that correct ?

Is there a reason you do not open the bookmark that you made in a html editor and copy paste over top of the existing address in the bookmark (singular) ?

Alternatively if this is in a .txt file just rename the file to .html or save as.

Please expand as I am not fully understanding if I got that right or not. Thanks

If you are asking Mozilla to add a feature such as that to Firefox, you should file a Bugzilla report as a Request for Enhancement (RFE) and see what the developers have to say in response to the request.

(NO) Is there a reason you do not open the bookmark that you made in a html editor and copy paste over top of the existing address in the bookmark (singular) ? (BOOKMARKS OPEN IN FIREFOX how do YOU manipulate URLs while within BOOKMARKS - so you export/manipulate/re-import? WHY?) Alternatively if this is in a .txt file just rename the file to .html or save as. (??? I'M TALKING ABOUT A .JSON FILE WITHIN FIREFOX/BOOKMARKS) Please expand as I am not fully understanding if I got that right or not. Thanks
NOT ::: You've lots of posts...

Mine is a Request for Enhancement (RFE) to encompass: BOOKMARKS > EDIT > SEARCH & REPLACE. This internal enhancement enables multiple changes WITHOUT having to use external methodologies. Ta.

You can possibly use a SQLite query with an SQLite Manager extension or external application (57+).

You can open the bookmarks.html backup in a Firefox tab and use a suitable bookmarklet to do a RegExp replace.
