This Add-On Might Work, BUT . . .

So, first I encourage everyone to read the "About this extension" section before using the extension to familiarize yourself with a few things like it's Features, Shortcuts and Planned features. Now, the 'Bookmarks Organizer' does what it claims. However, there are some things that the developer didn't think of. One of them and maybe the most important, is a Pause and/or Stop button. Having a Pause and/or Stop Button would be helpful for anyone that has 5000 - 10000+ bookmarks, for the following reasons; It would allow anyone using this extension to pause it and/or stop it, so they could go through the bookmarks that have already been scanned. The other reason is that, if you expect this scan to only take 10 to 25 minutes, think again, especially if your a bookmark addict and you have 5000 - 10000+ bookmarks saved. Because with that many bookmarks saved it's going to take a ... a few hours if not more.
The only other thing I can think of is something that apparently will be added to an up and coming version of the extension. That the ability or the option to 'select multiple bookmarks at once rather than only being able to delete them one by one'. Other than that, give this extension a try, it does work. It's a little slow, but it works. I gave it 3 Stars, but I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't so slow.

would be good if can select mutiple selections at once rather than deleting one by one

After using it it seems to have too many false positives. I'm having to scroll through my 4000+ bookmarks and check every red one to make sure it's not deleting anything it shouldn't. E.g. it assumed youarelistening.to was invalid but there's nothing wrong with that link.

Also, you must make sure you are using a vpn otherwise it will delete anything like torrent bookmarks which don't connect without it.

At this moment I can't see the button I will push when I finally want to delete all the remaining red ones.

Can anyone suggest how to use this extension, please?
Installed it on Portable version 96, I followed the "Start here" arrow and selected from the menu, in my case "duplicates". Then I got a list of duplicate bookmarks. But here I am stuck. I have no idea what to do next to delete the duplicates... totally lost and confused. ???
I must be missing something fundamental and I can't figure out what..

EDIT: I mean NOT deleting duplicated entries one by one but if there is a function to do it automatically by one click. (I am dealing with 3000+ entries...)

Mühsam, hier fehlt mindestens die Möglichkeit mehrere Lesezeichen zu markieren um alle gleichzeitig zu löschen. Jedes einzeln entfernen und auch noch jedesmal zu bestätigen frisst nur unnötig Zeit.

Good to detect broken links, and duplicates, but useless for organizing bookmarks. I didn't have any problem with the bookmarks analysis (almost 300 bookmarks checked quickly).

Дубликаты находит, сломанные закладки ищет плохо, много ошибок. Полностью доверять этому расширению не стоит

It's a decent tool and does a good job of finding dupes! But there're no mass commands or buttons to deal with the dupes in one shot but rather you have to sit there and manually click on every dupe checkbox to take action.

The Find Broken URLs is a good feature but many websites like linkedin, facebook that do not allow webscrapers, see it as a threat, causing Bookmarks Organizer to generate a false positive report that the bookmark is broken or dead. The average person using this add-on needs to see friendlier http errors such as "the target web url does not allow remote checking!" as opposed to http 404!

Fool proof duplicate and dead bookmark organizer ... with a huge BUT ... you have to confirm manually every single change to the corrections (redirect, delete, whitelist) ... and since its visual, you can't select the 'ok' by pressing space or arrows, ..... and this can quickly become very very annoying.
Please add an option to disable the confirmation box. thank you.

Nice sleek GUI, but reports too many false positives for broken links. Should be restricted to 404 responses only, or at least provide it as an option. The deduplicator function works, but the GUI provides no way to group-select detected items. Users with perhaps fifty or more duplicate URLs should expect to click "delete" for an unreasonable amount of time. I had over 400, so it was unfortunately an instant uninstall for me. If the developer fleshes out the options a LITTLE more, I may be back.

Mit den zur Verfügung stehenden Funktionen bin ganz zufrieden. Nur die Bezeichnung als "Organizer" finde ich stark übertrieben.

Would be even better if there was options to select multiple duplicate webpages. To help save you time manually deleting them all.

Very useful, but could be more useful (to me). Actually quite cumbersome to use.

- Doesn't test for duplicate tags. Misspellings and the like mean I have duplicate tags.
- blacklisted locations for the folders or default bookmark to delete. Many of my duplicated bookmarks are in the root folder; I'm really not sure how they got there (so it would be the default folder to delete the delete the duplicate). I use tags and not folders for searching.
- whitelisted folders which should not count - I have an addon called "time capsule" which uses bookmarks to remind me that pages exist periodically. Its bookmarks are not duplicates per se.
- The preferences are not a button on the main page.
- I assume you've never actually used your program on a normal user's setup or have OCD. After about fifty deletions one-by-one, even after turning off the confirmations, it gets old. I have less than one percent duplicates but it's too slow to actually use your addon.

It's OK. It finds the errant book marks but all that that can be done is delete them manually one by one. Life's too short ;)

It works this time since the update to 2.0.1
It could still use some additional features.
+Option to show only broken bookmarks, and not redirects.
+Option to show only redirects.
+Make it possible to remove folders, typically if the bookmark was the only one inside the folder and it was deleted, should be able to delete the folder too, without going to the Firefox Bookmarks view.

It's a great improvement over the older version I tried, keep up the good work.


reply: The checkboxes only appear if you are at the very top of the list. It would be better if you could make that part not scroll off the screen, as another layer or frame over the main frame.

Repara los marcadores huerfanos, duplicados y rotos, siento que le falta más cosas como poder organizar los marcadores en carpetas o modificarlos de alguna forma, pero van por buen camino

Ja das stimmt.
Also das Entfernen von Duplikaten sollte automatisch gehen, d.h. man sollte eine Regel angeben können, nach der nur noch eines der Duplikate beibehalten wird (z.B. nach Datum, nach Abfolge gefunden, Verzeichnistiefe oder so)
Ich habe ca. 9000 Lesezeichen, von denen einige Duplikate sind (~200). Diese einzeln zu suchen und dann auch alle mittels eigenem Klick zu entfernen ist sehr mühsam.

seems OK but it didn't find my "unsorted bookmarks" which number in the thousands. I'm going to remove it and try it again in acouple of months.

The duplicate option freezes and doesn't work well
