Foxtop is a (WIP) command-line tool to visualize Firefox (on Linux) history in the terminal.
By default, foxtop scans your Firefox directory (~/home/.mozilla/firefox) and
reads the profile.ini to figure out your default profile. It then reads the
data from the places.sqlite which includes data regarding your Firefox history
such as visit count per URLs, frecency (how the URLs get ranked in the URL bar),
etc.
Foxtop also opens the database file in read-only mode, ensuring that it doesn't affect your browsing session.
For now, simply clone the repository and build the main.go file in the cmd
directory. Or just issue go run ./cmd/main.go. Whatever works for you.
Foxtop tries to figure your profile directory by reading
~/home/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini by default. If it fails to get the
profile right, or you want to visualize the history for a different profile, you
can pass the full path to the profile with the -p flag and foxtop will use
that instead. E.g:
$ go run ./cmd/main.go -p ~/.mozilla/firefox/glqkke4.default-nightly`
PS: A folder must contain a places.sqlite file to be considered a valid
profile path.
