Warning : This repository/project is no longer maintained. I'm no longer using KDE's KRunner. If you are interested in the plugin, it's free software under the GPL-3.0 license, so you can create a fork and do any thing you want with it.

If you want an alternative, I created foxmarks and I use it with rofi.

TODO

• Display the favicons rather then firefox's icon. FireFox do save them in favicons.sqlite but i don't know how should I link them with the bookmarks or even how to read the image it self, yet.
• Add an action to open a sharing dialog to share the URL.

Thanks to

• Riccardo Massidda since his extensions ulauncher-firefox-history was the base for this runner.
