What is a JSONLZ4 file?

JSONLZ4 files mostly belong to Firefox by Mozilla. The JSONLZ4 extension is used for files that store compressed bookmarks saved by individual user profiles on the Mozilla Firefox web browser. The JSONLZ4 is an open-source format based on the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file format. Similarly to JSON, it is used for storing data and other objects in a standard data interchange format. It uses the LZ4 (Lempel-Ziv) compression to reduce the size of the file.

  • Data Recovery: The JSONLZ4 can be used to recover lost bookmarks if the data related to the bookmarks are deleted during version updates. The data are available in the /bookmarkbackups" folder in the Firefox user profile directory. The date of creation of the file can be obtained by checking the name of the file in the JSONLZ4 format.
  • Popularity: The JSON and JSONLZ4 are generally useful for Ajax Web application programming. While the JSON data format is fast gaining popularity as an alternative to the XML data format, JSONLZ4 has no usage outside Firefox.
