How do you create a Shortcut to “Other Bookmarks” in Firefox?

[slack7639]

I'm using the current version of Firefox, 57.0.2

I want to make a macro in Excel 2010 that goes to "Other Bookmarks" in Firefox . . . I can't figure out how to do it

The closest I can get is, I open this "skin" / "chrome", and it default opens to "All Bookmarks" . . . "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul

But, what I want is, which can only be done from within Firefox . . . I use this Keyboard Shortcut, and it default opens to "Other Bookmarks" . . . CTRL + Shift + B

What I've tried:

1.) VBA "Call Send Keys" from Excel 2010 does not "act on" Firefox

2.) AutoHotKey is not able to communicate with Firefox: open FF, then input: ^+B

Is there an easy "switch" I can just add to the Shortcut "-chrome"? . . . like, -focus "Other Bookmarks" . . . This command (CTRL+U: View Source in Firefox) doesn't work on the "places.xul" skin, so I can see what it's doing.

Or, is there a Firefox CLI, that I can use in a BAT file, and have another text file "act on" it, to open to "Other Bookmarks"? Any idea where the commands to do so are provided?

In my cross-post #4, I think NirCmd might not work because of this?

Parameters that are provided on the command line are completely different than stdin (where your redirected input goes). This is true for both batch scripts
as well as .exe programs . . . Some programs are designed to accept the same values via command line arguments or stdin. But that is not the norm.
That is a feature that is provided by the developer of the program . . . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12511323/redirecting-command-input-using

I have cross-posted in these four other pages. I apologize. I'm excited to get an answer to this quickly. I think my best bet is to use NirCmd in post #4 here:

I see I also cross-posted here. After I clicked "submit" on this page, it didn't show up, so I thought it didn't get posted, but later in the day, I got an answer:

Here's what I figured out. There's too much to put here, so, I've put it on a 4-page PDF on my Google Docs:

The following are 4 macros that I have in Excel 2010.
The first two just use VBA.
The second two use NirCmd.
