Firefox history stats with Bash


/ Published in: Bash
Save to your folder(s)

This is a small script to gather some statistics from your Firefox history. First we use sqlite3 to parse the Firefox history database and get the last three months, then we remove all the IP addresses and port numbers and finally we sort and count them.


Copy this code and paste it in your HTML
  1. #!/bin/bash
  2.  
  3. if [[ ! -d ${HOME}/.www ]]; then
  4. mkdir ${HOME}/.www
  5. fi
  6.  
  7. cp "$(find "${HOME}/.mozilla/firefox/" -name "places.sqlite" | head -n 1)" "${HOME}/.www/places.sqlite"
  8. sqlite3 "${HOME}/.www/places.sqlite" "SELECT url FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id and visit_date > strftime('%s','now','-3 month')*1000000 ORDER by visit_date;" > "${HOME}/.www/urls-unsorted"
  9. sort -u "${HOME}/.www/urls-unsorted" > "${HOME}/.www/urls"
  10. awk -F/ '{print $3}' "${HOME}/.www/urls" | grep -v -E -e '[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}' -e ':.*' -e '^$' | sed -e 's/www\.//g' |sort | uniq -c | sort -n
