+# Readme for mbbmlib
+This project exists to programmatically export my bookmarks from the profiles of Mozilla-based web browsers to html, without having to run the browser. Also, I wanted to have icons displayed in the outputted html.
+
+## `mmbmlib` upstream
+This project is the upstream: [https://gitlab.com/bgstack15/mbbmlib.git](https://gitlab.com/bgstack15/mbbmlib.git)
+
+## Alternatives
+Just use the built-in export bookmarks feature.
+
+## Dependencies
+* python3
+
+## How to use mbbmlib
+The most basic way to use this library is to run `export_bookmarks_to_html`.
+
+ mbbmlib.export_bookmarks_to_html("/home/bgstack15/.mozilla/firefox/12345678.default", "/mnt/public/Public/bookmarks.html", debuglev=8, fetch_icons=True, iconsize=32)
+
+See [ffbookmarkexporter.py](ffbookmarkexporter.py) for more examples.
+
+## References
+connman-gtk-xdg-autostart/README.md
+
+## Differences from upstream
+None
