Well, the closest that I can see is:
1) Locate the default Firefox folder, which should be at:
specialFolderPath(28) & "/Mozilla/Firefox"
2) Inside there should be a file called "Profiles.ini". Read that,
and it will contain one or more Profile sections (normally just one)
indicated as "[Profile0]", "[Profile1]", etc.
3) Inside the Profile section is a line that says:
"Path=Profiles/<encryptedProfileName>" (in my case
<encryptedProfileName> was "j5beaz33.default")
4) Add this path to the end of your default FireFox folder path, and
inside this folder is all the bookmarks, history, etc. So to get at the
history there is a file called "history.dat". So on my machine the full
path would be:
specialFolderPath(28) &
"/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/j5beaz33.default/history.dat"
That file looks to be a variation of XML, so it should be parseable.
