Use this tool to fetch the content (id, url, date of last visit) from the `places.sqlite` database file of the Firefox browser on macOS.\n\n## Background\n\nFirefox stores a variety of data in a directory called \"Profiles.\" This directory also contains the `places.sqlite` database, which holds the browsing history. This program copies the `places.sqlite` database to the Desktop. Then it opens the database and reads the `moz_places` table. Three entries are displayed in the Terminal: the ID, the visited website, and the date.\n\n## Requirements\n\n* Python 3.13+ (It will probably work with other versions too, but I haven't tested it.)\n* macOS\n\n## Install\n\n    pip3 install firefox-forensics\n\n## Usage\n\nTo display the ID, the visited website, and the date in the terminal, execute the following command:\n\n    firefox-forensics -w\n\nIf this data should also be saved in a text file on the desktop, the option `-o` must be added:\n\n    firefox-forensics -o\n\nThis program does not read the original database (`places.sqlite`), but first creates a copy on the desktop. The data is then read from this copied database.\n\n## Changelog\n\nsee [Changelog.md](https://github.com/niftycode/firefox-forensics/blob/main/Changelog.md)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fniftycode%2Ffirefox-forensics","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fniftycode%2Ffirefox-forensics","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fniftycode%2Ffirefox-forensics/lists"}
