The requirement came from @cpaulik in #39 (comment):

It would be great if there would be an option during import to use the existing folder names from Chrome as tags in buku.

Technical restrictions:

  1. This would require folders like Recent Tags and Most Visited to be filtered out from stock Firefox export, which is more of a hack than a generic solution. Mozilla format uses the same tags for these as regular bookmarks.
  2. Stock Firefox mod on Ubuntu has the following directory:
 <DT><H3 ADD_DATE="1440206436" LAST_MODIFIED="1467725517">Ubuntu and Free Software links</H3>

For all practical reasons this is not a tag. As Buku does not support partial tag searches, it is quite difficult for users to search this specific tag (and others like it).

Dropping the idea due to the above reasons.
