Bookmarks clean up by itwillnotbeasy
Review by Olamagato
Rated 4 out of 5
by Olamagato, 5 years agoThe extension is well thought out. Searching and removing duplicates works decently. Deleting empty folders and joining duplicate folders too.
In contrast, the search for broken bookmarks should be improved.
First of all, most broken links are result by any reorganization of the URLs. And this means that in addition to the problem with the link, you should also check if there is a problem with the web server itself. Because if the server is running and its default address is available, the link may not be eligible for removal. This add-on does not check it, but it should. Therefore, the URL should cut off everything after the domain name and check the connection again. Because if the server is actually unavailable and also gives a 404 error, it means that the link can no longer be repaired and restored. I miss that.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gilby, 2 months agoThe only thing I learned about this add-on is that it lives up to its name. (itwillnotbeeasy) Installed, adjusted settings, and nothing. No start, go, launch, proceed, remove, engage, button to do anything. Uninstalled, reinstalled, used defaults, still nothing. No way to make it work. PLEASE HELP

- Rated 3 out of 5by Wyrdling, 3 months agoDoes what it says pretty well. Strange choice to not include a 'Select all' for the duplicate finder, but you do for broken URLs. I get you want us to keep one item remaining, but what if I don't want any of them to remain? As someone who needed to manage close to 5000 bookmarks, this did well enough.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cyberknight, 10 months agoIt has some interesting ideas for selecting duplicates, like checking all similar bookmarks from a folder, but it quickly becomes messy when dealing with many duplicates across different folders (might work for people with fewer bookmarks, I guess). Unfortunately, this extension has no progress indicator, so there's no way of knowing if [Merge duplicate folders], for example, is really merging folders or just crashing badly, consuming lots of memory and processing power (after several minutes of waiting, I had to restart Firefox and didn't find anything different from before using it...)
- Rated 5 out of 5by krispyduck, a year agoInstall, press buttons. Done... mostly. Would recommend "Find broken URLS", , "Remove empty folders", "Merge duplicate folders", "Find duplicated bookmarks". The last one is understandably relatively manual as there is no way for the add-on to know which of the bookmarks you would like to keep.
Only thing I would love to see added is to have the dupes grouped when there are several dupes in the same folders. Maybe re-arrange the buttons to give better flow and maybe an auto button that does each task in the most optimal order...
But really, this is an awesome add-on and does what it says it does. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18300175, a year ago
