That would be great as a plugin. As don’t have the skills to implement it, here are some pointers for future reference:

A prototype for a Firefox bookmarks search plugin is now available in the branch lp:~milky2313/cardapio/firefox-bookmarks.
The only problem I am having at this point is how to update the plugin when the bookmarks change in Firefox. Currently the Firefox bookmarks are stored in an sqlite database that stores a lot of other information as well. Unfortunately, the database file is changed much too often for a simple file monitor to be effective for detecting bookmark changes.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!!

A question for everyone: Would you like it better to have separate plugins for firefox and chrome/ium bookmark searching or one plugin, "Web Bookmarks" that can handle them both?

I’d vote for the »Web Bookmarks« and make it browser agnostic. The result icons could reflect if it’s Chromium, Firefox, etc. That way we don’t need a new plugin every time a new browser is supported but rather use only one.

I agree, in fact a prototype is now available at the related web-bookmarks branch
