Hi I'm a beginner and looking at writing an ff add on. I'm stuck on finding a way to open the bookmarks manager with code. Say each time the browser starts up I want it to open the bookmarks manager as well. How can I achieve this? I'm using the ff sdk.

You can use one of these chrome URI:

  • chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
  • chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul

The first opens the Bookmarks Manager (Library) and the second the bookmarks as you see them in the sidebar.
