Adding bookmark to web browser from external applications

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to add bookmark to web browsers (Safari, IE, FF, Chrome, Opera) from external applications ?

Accepted Answer

For IE :

You need to create a link file here :

c#

```
   Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Favorites)
```

Powershell

```
 [Environment]::GetFolderPath( [System.Environment+SpecialFolder]::Favorites)
```

Chrome:

You need to add entry in json format file `bookmarks` (with no extension):

on `Win7` is

```
C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\
```

Firefox:

The bookmarks are stored in a `SQLite`:

```
../Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/{your firefox profile}/places.sqlite 
```

Using `System.Data.SQLite` you can try to add link, but I can't help you more.

Can't help you for Safari and Opera
