Where Does Midori Store Bookmarks and Profile?

Midori keeps bookmarks in bookmarks.db plus browser settings under ~/.config/midori on Linux. Copy the whole folder with Midori closed.

Last updated

Midori stores bookmarks as SQLite files inside its config folder on Linux. The database trio of bookmarks.db with shared memory and write-ahead files holds every saved link. Modification times on the sidecar files track additions.

History and settings sit beside the bookmarks in the same tree. Back up the whole folder rather than single files, since the trio must stay consistent. Newer Astian builds keep the same layout across distributions.
