Is there a SQLite3 application which can:

   3. write the files back such that SeaMonkey can use the

I've not had *ANY* contact with any database system for DECADES {i.e. dBASEII}. My gut says it should be possible. None of the bookmark threads have suggested any feasible way to reorganize my current mess.

My Bookmarks file dates from about Netscape Communicator V 3.0 and, over the years, I think I've ending up with three or four copies of my Bookmarks with-in the Bookmarks folder, so I had been thinking of doing something like ....

1.    Export my Bookmarks file as HTML
2.    Save a copy somewhere else!
3.    Open Bookmarks.html in Notepad++ (or similar)
4.    Select a Bookmark.
5.    Do a search for that Bookmark throughout the file and delete the duplicates if only one copy is required.
6.    Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each following bookmark.
7.    Copy (not import into) the finished file back into the Bookmarks file somehow.

I realise this would be A LOT OF (highly repetitive) WORK (which someone smarter that me could probable script), but would it be a way of achieving the slimmed down result??

For me, I would like to keep their histories too.
