The guy who posted the previous review was referring to the forever looping logo animation overlay that prevents you to even delete the 1 duplicate it finds (though you can do it manually via library)

The broken search sometimes does work sometimes won't finish , from what i understand there is a needed api that is not yet available (atleast on the stable ffx release)

This extension has potential when the 57 hits , looking foward to test it (no new update rip rating)

What'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.

I had written a review that perhaps wasn't fair and I apologize to the developer. I deleted the old one. This is a new review.

Regarding the scan locking up, I think if you have a lot of duplicate bookmarks, what you need to do is start by dealing with those before you have it look for dead links. Once I did that, it went much more quickly when looking for the dead links and it did complete the scan. This extension also worked to fix redirects and stuff. You have to look over each one because it did find some false positives, which is natural and I think it even said to be careful in the dialogue itself. Can't remember for sure, but just don't blindly click your way through this stuff.

I don't know how I had so many duplicates, but it would have been nice to have had a way to select them in bulk.

Endlich mal eine SW die tut was sie verspricht. Einfach und gut; was kann ich mehr sagen!
Moechte das Addon auch als .xpi file downloaden, aber wie???
Gerne einen Hinweis.
Gruesse

After installing the add-on, I restarted FF 52.3.0 (running Mac OS X 10.11.6). Then I chose "broken bookmarks" and the add-on found 140.063 (yes 140 thousands!) bookmarks. Then I clicked on "check bookmark" and after 5 minutes I saw 211 checked but after 20 minutes the number of items checked was still 211. No numbers in warmings and errors fields. The add on is still working because I see in the middle of the window 3 circles moving ... and I cannot have any feedback nor choose any other option (like "duplicates", for instance). I'm (sadly) going to remove the add on ...unless I can have any suggestion to have the add on working ... I can't ever rate this add on...maybe too much bookmarks?

Hm. Also grundsätzlich scheint das Add-On seinen Job zu erledigen, bleibt aber auch bei mir bei der Überprüfung des letzten Lesezeichens hängen. Keine Ahnung, warum. Aber immerhin musste das Tool auch 6357 Bookmarks prüfen und hat 2989 Warnungen bzw. 1061 Fehler festgestellt. Bringt natürlich nichts, wenn das Ergebnis nicht validiert werden kann. Von daher nur drei Sterne.
Ich hoffe aber, das es noch etwas wird mit dem Add-On, da ich meine Bookmarks wirklich gerne mal bereinigen würde - was aber bisher mit keinem Tool gelang.

Edit: Ich habe es heute (28. 08. 2017) nochmals probiert und diesmal funktionierte sowohl der Suchvorgang sowie die anschliessende Validierung einwandfrei. Ich weiss nicht, warum es gestern nicht geklappt hat, aber vielleicht lag es an einem vom Author bereits in einem Kommentar erwähnten Timeout.
Also falls es bei euch nicht auf Anhieb funktioniert, vielleicht einfach noch einmal zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt probieren...
Sterne habe ich auf fünf erhöht, denn auch wenn da noch irgendwo ein (kleiner) Bug sein sollte, konnte ich zumindest das erste Mal überhaupt meine Bookmarks bereinigen.

- Restarted FF after installing.
- Opened the Firefox extension.
- Selected Broken Bookmarks.
- Selected Check Bookmarks...
- It scanned 4979 bookmarks.
- It identified 1453 warnings.
- It also identified 381 errors.

THEN NOTHING - (waited for 12 minutes)
The 'dot' progress indicator kept moving.


Selected Duplicates > Check Bookmarks.
Nothing !

Selected Missing Bookmark Names > Check Bookmarks.
Nothing !

Sehr gut und logisch aufgebaut, schlicht und übersichtlich im Design, funktioniert einwandfrei.
Der derzeit beste Bookmark-Checker.

Hallo,

ein tolles Addon (Bookmarks Organizer 1.3.0), wenn es denn den Suchvorgang vollständig beenden würde.
Und nutze Win 7 Pro 64 bit, Firefox 54.01 64 bit. Für die Durchführung habe ich alle Add Ons deaktiviert.

Insgesamt habe ich 1064 Lesezeichen auf defekte Lesezeichen überprüft.
Nachdem recht schnell 1063 Lesezeichen geprüft wurden, war das Zwischenergebnis
Anzahl der Lesezeichen = 1064
Überprüft = 1063
Warnungen = 433
Fehler = 147
Nach dem letzten Zeichen wird nach über 30 Minuten immer noch gesucht.

Könnte es sein, das da noch ein kleiner Bug vorhanden ist? Oder bin ich nur zu ungeduldig und sollte lieber mehrere Stunden Wartezeit einplanen?

Die Prüfung nach doppelten Lesezeichen funktionierte übrigens einwandfrei und die gefundene Lesezeichen wurden auch aufgelistet und ließen sich größenteils auch löschen.

Scan
From 5125 checked 5123 and after an hour I closed that link

давно ждал такого расширения! Спасибо

Works great, and finds http to https redirects :)

A built in bookmark sort function would be nice

Thank You for perfect "Bookmarks Organizer" and for the operating answer. I ask You a pardon - at repeated starting was found, what, nevertheless, commands "Edit" and "Delete" appear at induction of the mouse for all items, EXCEPT FOR the first item. (What for with the mouse?). To tell the truth, hand-handling of hundreds items is difficult. It would be nice, if it would be possible to define an main-folder ("Collection"). It for READ-ONLY. And to check other bookmarks on secondariness in relation to a main-folder. Then by the additional command to delete automatically its duplicates from other folders. Forgive my unattention. Thank's.

!!! NOW IT IS NOT ACTUAL : (The script has checked up all mine 2783 bookmarks on doubles. Has detected 681 error. Now a green asterisk with three running points. And doesn't offer any further operations. The naked list in some hundreds items on which there is NO possibility of handling).

Im 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.

Been trying to use the Duplicates feature with FF 52.0.2 and even reverted to FF 52.0.0 but just goes into limbo (edit: process' all bookmarks but doesn't finish/end routine) and never gives an option to fix/edit.

This extension looks promising (peculiarly to replace something like Bookmarks Checker, which is now deprecated).

The only important feature which is currently missing is the ability to select only one or more folders (rather than all the bookmarks as currently).

Moreover (although this point is minor), the new brand icon lacks of contrast and becomes virtually invisible with a slightly dark theme.

I run 2 machines 1 Linux Ubuntu 17.04, one 16.04.
The 17.04 ran well, however, it keeps spitting out links as redirects even though they are the same exact address. That's not a big deal, but I had to run it several times to get broken links completely. As for slow internet being a problem...thats not exactly right. I ran the 17.04 machine that had 1400+ bookmarks and it ran pretty quickly (did seem to hang on the last 20 though). When that machine was done I went to the other machine which has same internet connection and 1843 bookmarks and after 15mins it has scanned 15, so its not internet (I verified all was ok with my connection which is very fast). The only difference is that the machine that went fast is fairly new with 16 gigs of memory while the one that doesnt seem to want to get past 15 has only 4 and a slower processor. This tells me there may be a problem hogging memory. I hope this helps the author of this add on since I have been searching for something just like this for a long time. Thank you for your work so far!

Edit: I created a new clean profile with this add on as the only add on with the slow machine and imported my bookmarks and its working, so there must be a compatibility issue with other add ons

Impressed, it found many bookmarks with http and suggested me https, that was exact !!! Minimum 5 stars.

Bookmarks Organizer 1.2.0 available on June 4.

Nice and fast. Important: Disable NoScript, it causes me some false warnings.

I 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.

The most important part that it needs to improve IMO is that:

1) A way to disable confirmation (super annoying when you have hundreds of bookmarks to correct)

2) A way to automate some processes. For example, auto correct redirect if it's only from http to https.

Overall, a great add-on that Firefox has been lacking for a long time (since another similar one died around Fx6).


------------
I didn't seem to find a way to disable confirmation?

Scanned through my ~1000 add-ons in like a couple of minutes. Helped me get rid of a dozen dead ones, and fix the redirection of ~150 ones.

A couple of suggestions:
1) Some 'select all', 'select multiple', 'select none' and also checkboxes for each bookmark entry to offer greater control over which bookmarks get changed. For example, out of the 155 re-directions the add-on wanted to fix, I wanted to leave ~10 as it, while let the add-on correct the rest. Clicking 'correct redirect' for each entry would have been tedious, and clicking the 'correct all redirects' wasn't what I wanted. I eventually found out that clicking 'edit' then 'Save' for a bookmark marked as a warning excludes it from the 'correct all redirects' action, and this saved me a lot of time and effort.
2) If the webextensions API allows for this, offer to create backups, or otherwise encourage the user to create them on their own before they use the add-on to make changes. This could help users from shooting themselves in the foot.
3) Every time I clicked edit for a bookmark and then clicked Save, the Keefox popup showed up and tried to 'save the login.' Could this be fixed on your end or is it an issue with Keefox?
4) Once the results of a scan for 'missing bookmark names' show up, scroll down a bit so that the header changed from class `default` to `compact`. This compact mode doesn't feel compact enough. For example, a resolution of 1366x768 gives me a content area of ~630px on Firefox. But even with the header in `.compact` mode, I'm left with the results displaying within a height of ~400px. So (230/630)*100=36% of the content area is being spent in showing the header / footer and that action bar with the drop down and the 'check bookmarks' button. Maybe make the action bar and footer a little smaller, and maybe have (at least the compact mode of) the header change the list ' Number of bookmarks', 'Checked', 'Errors' etc. into a horizontal one instead of a vertical one to save vertical space. There is already a lot of empty space in the compact mode of the header between the star on the left and this list on the right.

Two nitpicks :)
1) The search bar that shows up upon completing a scan says 'Name or URL...' It is not immediately obvious that the text typed into this would filter the results shown below. Maybe something like 'Type name or address to filter results' is better?
2) The fox image on the right in the add-on page is very cute, but the white fur of the fox is too similar to the page background. I couldn't tell what the image was until I right click > View Image'd it. Maybe place it in a circular background for better contrast? This would also help give it the appearance of a button and better convey to users that it is click-able.
