Hello JoAb, thank you for the comments.

There is a toolbar icon for the extension. It is a yellow star with a "+" sign inside it. Maybe you removed it or you have something hiding it ? In the first case, try "additional tools" on far right of the toolbar, then "customize toolbar" .. and you should find it and be able to drag it back to the toolbar.

On the thing you suggest for "show search", this is not easily possible. but also this wouldn't match the frequent behavior that users often search for a boookmark to find where to drag a new bookmark which they want to put / create in that same folder and around the same place => they need to see the full contents of the folder around the searched bookmark to place the new bookmark.
By the way, this is exactly reproducing the behavior of the initial Bookmark Search Plus extension (pre-Quantum), which BSP2 is replacing.

Thank you, aaFn.

******** Edit ************************
On second thought, a proposal I could make is to add an action to the right click context menu which would be "Go parent folder" .. and it would jump you directly to the parent 100 rows above without you scrolling for it.
That action could be both in the main bookmark and in the search result panes .. what do you think ?

If that looks good to you, would you mind opening it as an issue on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues ?

Cheers, aaFn.

******** Edit again ******************
Never mind, on third thought, I believe this is a useful feature for all, so I opened the issue myself
https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/55
and implemented the function in 2.0.34.

Hello anonymous, not sure what is useless, and sorry for the bad experience if something is not working.
Would you mind being more specific on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues ?

Note that BSP2 is first a replacement for Bookmark Search Plus from the same author than Go Parent Folder. It does the same thing but runs from inside a sidebar, so that it can remain visible at the same time as your navigation pages.
Bookmarks Manager is a good add-on and is inside a pop up, which is a different philosophy.

I do not believe it is fair to compare both together, it is a question of taste, and tastes are never absolute.
What we all strive for is to be useful to others, so anything allowing to progress is much welcome.

Cheers, aaFn.

Hello irripod, can you open an issue here ?
https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues
I would need the traces contents (go to options panel for the add-on, and tick the "Activate trace" box. A readonly textarea should appear with an history of what happened.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience, let's tackle it, aaFn.

PS: Hopefully bug corrected with 2.0.29 now, let me know, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello alexg, thank you.
As said in some other post below, this is unfortunately not possible as of Firefox 57 and higher.
Quantum does not allow any add-on action in the bookmark manager.

Hello Stan, I guess you mean key navigation in the menus ? Similarly you'll notice that key navigation doesn't exist (yet) on bookmarks either. I'll add that later (I made a note of it -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/46)

Indeed, because of limitations of the new Quantum extensions, the only way is to recreate the native interface, it cannot be extended anymore ... so it is imperfect (but improving ... ).

Not sure what you mean by "reverting to the standard-mode resets the bookmarks view to the default view", can you explain a little more ?

Note: on localization, I'll do French first, promis juré :-)

Hello, as a matter of fact there is a shortcut key (displayed in the sidebar menu since FF 60.0.1).
However Ctrl+B is already assigned to open the native bookmark sidebar and cannot be redirected.
So the following keys have been assigned from the few free left I could find:

- Linux = Ctrl+Shift+B
- MAC = Alt+B (Cmd+Alt+B doesn't match with authorized key pattern .. it is rejected)
- All others, including Windows = Ctrl+Q

Cf. https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/4

Hello Matteo, unfortunately, as said on the add-on main / description page, there is no management / display of bookmark tags, keywords, description field possible as Firefox does not expose those fields through its Web Extension API's.

This is a long open bug to FF (3 years) -> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225916

Until they are made is available by FF, it won't be possible to manage them in BSP2.

Hello eggyolk, this is because websites.resistFingerprinting (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/privacy/websites)
is disabling proper reporting of FF version in Navigator.buildID -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/buildID

However, BSP2 needs the FF version, because I make it available on FF 56 for people wanting to use it on pre-Quantum (they are not able to go to Quantum [FF57+] due to other extensions they have which wouldn't work anymore with Quantum).
And on FF56, there are some WebExtension bookmarks features not available, for which I need to activate a special code so that I can get around those lacks.

Good news however, that particular privacy setting forces buildID to a specific impossible value on Quantum (20100101) which I can recognize, and as per documentation this setting can only happen on FF 58+, so when the code sees it, it can deduce it is running on FF 58+.

*** I will get out 2.0.25 tonight so that it will work with that privacy setting and with the Privacy settings add-on, and you can get both working side by side ***

The downside is that if at some time in the future I need to recognize an FF version superior to FF58 for new features coming from FF API, I won't be able to do that for people who have enabled that setting .. And so they may not be able to benefit from those new features.

Let me know if the new version is not working in your case.

Thank you vitaaliy. Welcome

Hello Paul Jackson, indeed and this is not due to the add-on, but to Firefox API.
See this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1396364

This is hitting peope with lots of bookmarks. Firefox devs seem to think that 95% of users have less than 2000 bookmarks, and they consider people like you (or me) as "pathological cases" :-)

Patiently waiting for things to improve on Firefox side, and trying some workarounds meanwhile .. https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/2

Sorry that I do not have a better answer, aaFn.

Thank you ohillary.
Can you detail the operation you are doing when the folder is not showing, and you need a right click to reveal ? (I guess you're talking in the search pane).
Also, are you in "simple" or "advanced" click mode ? (see Options)
Any click should show the corresponding bookmark, so if not, there is a bug which I need to correct :-)

---------------------
Edit: thank you for the update. If any problem is showing, do not hesitate to create an issue here -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues

Hello, I can add it if this is really used.
Mind that because of FF new WebExtension API limitations, I had to recreate a user interface ... so I am incrementally enriching it as per user demand.

If you want the function, would you mind creating the demand here so that we track it ?
