It does. It doesn't wait for loading to complete, but it only bookmarks
those tabs which are loaded fully.
I think I see how the file's structured:
({
windows:
[(
tabs:
[(
entries:
[(
url: "http://whatever"
title: "Whatever"
...
)]
)]
)]
})
Extra spaces and linefeeds added for clarity. Whitespace is generally
ignored by compilers. And I still don't know how to make a computer parse
it enough to extract each tab's URL. Maybe a two-RE sed command or several
of them as part of a big one-liner?
