Powersell to organize FireFox bookmarks

FireFox bookmarks are stored in the user's profile directory, in a sqlite database name "places.sqlite". As I keep working more on different things to do with PowerShell, I was at first annoyed that the scripts I had already written for simple file maintenance and organization couldn't be used as is with organizing the enormous amounts of bookmarks that I have. I searched around the interwebs and found a few decent examples but still wanted to roll my own.

Below is the current script as is. I only tested this on my version of FF, 47.0. However, this is a rather simplistic script and, following a best practice to backup data first, making a copy of the places.sqlite file will allow one to "roll back" to the original state.

One last note: I started this intending to make use of "System.Data.Sqlite" library. This was not hard to implement but was lengthier than I wanted. I then went to PSSqlite and found it to be a little easier to use.

#** Author: Dave Werden
#** General Notes:
#** - add 'COLLATE nocase' to end of search queries for
#**   case-insensitive searches. Similar to 'LIKE'
#**
#** - FK <= 8 is standard FF Folders
#** - Position == 0 is root level

#Steps
#   1. What taxonomy do I use to sort bookmarks
#   2a. Pull all Bookmarks from original folders and move to target folders
#       i. Based upon keyword search of URL (and/or Title?) 
#       ii. DO NOT pull from target folders
#   2b. Pull all Bookmarks from original folders and move to a single temp Folder
#       i. Would probably make it easier to:
#            1) Find Dups
#            2) Clean up/Identify 'straglers' after all move operations completed
#
#Choice: 2b
#
#   3. Automated Cleanup of empty folders
