how can i code an addon to read firefox bookmarks

I'm familiar with basic FF addon development and have cre开发者_开发百科ated a "test" toolbar button. Now when I click on this button I want my addon to read FF bookmarks. As simple as that.

Now I've spent 3 days. Have read uncountable tutorials, forums and blogs. Have gone through official FF addon development tutorials, but its a big mess. I'm not sure where to look for this info.

All I need is the API references of the methods/functions which can be called from inside an addon code to read FF bookmarks...

For Firefox 3:

Its not that hard. The hardest part is probably finding out where the sql lite database is located on users computer.
