- Rated 2 out of 5by berthoms, 7 years agoThis add-on will only help you to find duplicates or broken bookmarks...
In any way IT WILL NOT help you to fix them! (e.g. you'll know that you have 10.000 duplicates and NO WAY to fix them !
As you may think when a buggy software makes duplicates, it can easily fullfill the whole space it gets in a few seconds. So, getting huge lots of wrong bookmarks is not a thing you did by hand, but it occurs... And knowing it has already occured with no tool to fix it, is a very poor help.
So, using an extension to tell me something is wrong, while I knew it yet, and would not have installed this plugin if I didn't know it, doesn't deserve a great valuation.
Go on further and provide a fix for the errors you detect, and I'll change my mind!Developer response
posted a year agoI don't know if it was a missing feature at that time but in a current version you can edit and delete duplicates. Could you please test again? - Rated 2 out of 5by Punkytales, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Proft, 7 years agoWhat's the point of finding duplicates if you can't go through the list and choose which ones to delete?
I've got 8200+ bookmarks and the "broken" bookmark detector has been running for over 10 minutes with absolutely no progress indication.
There are other, more feature-rich bookmark managers out there...uninstalling this add-on.Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry, but I would never give bad reviews without contacting the developer about possible problems. I have more than 5,000 bookmarks and the add-on works for me.
And you can see the features of the add-on in the description and in the screenshots here on addons.mozilla.org. So I can't see where there should be a potential for surprises regarding features. If you have a feature request, please open a ticket on GitHub.
So it does NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL to say "There are other, more feature-rich bookmark managers out there" because it does not make sense to install add-ons if you already know that the add-on is not what you want.
Some people… - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12849453, 7 years agoIm not singling this addon out, literally every "book mark cleaner/organiser" that says it can detect dead pages fails in my experience.
Out of 1945 bookmarks it flagged 628 as warnings, and 10 errors. So, as with every bookmark checker/organiser ive tried I went through and checked manually...kinda defeating the purpose, and found 1 dead link
In this day and age with so many dynamically generated pages, im guessing we cant really expect anything to be 100%, but this was way off. I noticed almost all the warnings URLs were wanting to merely correct http:// to https://, is this really worth alarming a user with a huge number for...I don't think so. The remote website will switch to https:// automatically in most cases anyways. If people are that worried they should install https everywhere....
Post dev feedback reply:
You can mark my review as "invalid feedback - read the description before installing an add-on" all you like, my feedback is valid, and it stands.
And to quote you: "And you can read in the add-on's description that it's a feature of the add-on"
Show me where in the description it says it will want to redirect all http:// sites to https:// ....madness as most links are going to be http:// by default and should be left alone. Certainly no reason to mark them as "warnings" and want to tamper with them.Developer response
posted 7 years agohttp->https redirects are marked as warnings and not as errors, so I don't get your point. That's a FEATURE not a BUG. I know that a lot of users WANT to correct redirects. There was a long beta phase before the official release and there are more than enough users loving this feature. And you can read in the add-on's description that it's a feature of the add-on. If you don't want to see the redirect, you can hide these with ONE CLICK. So you have no reason to complain because of this feature. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13056615, 7 years agoI use it to scan my 4182 bookmarks for broken link.
In Firefox 53, it is extremely slow and only scan around 3158 in 24 hours.
I force close it and test it on Firefox 55. The scan is extremely fast. It complete 4082 within 5 minutes and up to 4181 within 15 minutes. However, it stop on 4181 and never end. I am waiting for it about 3 hours. The process manager show it is using around 2-10% CPU.
Is this extension can be worked on large amount of bookmarks.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis issue has been fixed in Bookmarks Organizer 2.0. It would be great if you could test (and maybe review) again. Thank you! :)
