How to make bookmarks files (!) clickable in browser?
by pstein from LinuxQuestions.org on (#563KT)
I created some bookmark files by dragging them from Firefox to a directory. Such a bookmark file has for example for linuxquestions.org
the following content:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=8
IDList=
HotKey=0
IconIndex=0
When I double click it the corresponding webpage is loaded in browser.
Fine.
Now I copy this bookmark file to a webserver directory and navigate to this folder in the (Firefox) browser.
When I click now on this file on the web page the browser is NOT redirected to the given webpage but the content is display ed instead.
Why?
Is this a bookmark file, a webserver or a browser issue?
How do I make one bookmark most easily clickable?
I want to avoid writing a *.html page and embed the bookmark as clickable link.
Thank you
Peter
