How can I get Firefox to create bookmarks.html whenever I add a bookmark?
I do daily backup of all user files that have changed. I would like to include my bookmarks in this backup. I don't want to backup my cache and other user settings.

You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to true on the about:config page.
That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref browser.bookmarks.file on the about:config page.
This pref doesn't exist by default and you may need to create a new String pref browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML and set the value to the full path of the backup bookmarks file.
Note: an HTML backup doesn't preserve tags and annotations, so you lose those if you need to import the HTML backup.

Perhaps it will be helpful to others to read my notes on creating bookmarks.html:
- I typed about:config into the Location Bar
- I accepted the risk of changing the configuration. A long list showed.
- I looked for browser.bookmarks.autoexportHTML. Its value was false.
- I right-clicked and chose Toggle. Its value changed to true.
- After exiting Firefox (perhaps the second time), I saw that D:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default\bookmarks.html had been created. (My user name is Chris. xxxxxxxx is a string Firefox chose when I installed it.)
