Does not find Firefox history on certain systems #175

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Namebench 1.3,1
Mac OS 10.6.6 (x86_64)

Only Safari history shows up in the sources.

The data_sources.cfg gathers data from:
<code>
[firefox]
name=Mozilla Firefox
1=%HOME%/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/*/places.sqlite
2=%HOME%/.mozilla/firefox/*/places.sqlite
3=%APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/places.sqlite

# firefox v2.0
4=%HOME%/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/*/history.dat
5=%HOME%/.mozilla/firefox/*/history.dat
6=%APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/history.dat
</code>

My Firefox history is located at
<code>%HOME%/Library/Application Support/Firefox/*/places.sqlite</code>

The proper way to fix this would be to read the profiles.ini and parse out the 
profile location. Of course, there may be multiple profiles, and then you need 
profile selection UI...

Yes I have noticed this happens if you change the Firefox default locations for 
profiles. Specifically this happened to me when I moved all my Firefox temp and 
profile info to a separate HDD.

Would be nice if namebench could find this info automatically

The only browser that namebench found was IE, which I literally never use.  
Seriously, there was no history in IE at all.  I had Firefox 18 installed.  I'm 
updating Firefox to see if that helps.
