- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12379117, 6 years agoI had this thing go through my bookmarks. It scanned 1225 bookmarks and 90 had errors and 600 warnings. I was going to delete the errors, but I thought I would check first. The first 10 bookmarks with errors that I checked went right to the web page it was bookmarked for. Nothing wrong with the bookmarks that were marked for error. This thing is worthless and has people deleting perfectly good bookmarks. Uninstalling!

Hangs and has my PC CPU running at the max. It's like it was mining for bitcoin. Developer or their spokesperson has a bad attitude. Just look at the comments left.
I wouldn't fall for the bogus positive reviews. Uninstalled.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis add-on has nothing to do with mining for nonsense like Bitcoins and it's not okay to offend me. No, the lot of positive reviews are not bogus, most users are very happy with the add-on. There is still no (!) bug report on the issues tracker. There is not one person reported hangs.
But yes, if you have a lot of bookmarks of course it's a lot of work for Firefox to load all of them. That's not a issue of the add-on.
Your comment is wrong, offending and not constructive at all. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14247066, 6 years agoJust hangs. The little fox logo in the top right jumps once, you select duplicates and the button to start working is greyed out. I've tried this several times in the last year or so, from complete re-installs and it doesn't work for me.

posted 6 years agoWhere is your error report on GitHub? It's not okay to give bad reviews without contacting the developer to figure out what's going wrong. There are no other reports that it doesn't work. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12157899, 6 years agosorry, but yes i really think this is useless unless you can actually delete all those duplicates! like i said, i don't need the add-on to laboriously go through my own bookmarks and spend way too much time deleting them one by one. please add this essential aspect, then i'd be happy to change it from one start to five!

posted a year agoYou can delete duplicates. Can you please test again with a current version and re-review? Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by Loquacious1, 7 years agoDidn't try to work. Selected an option to check duplicates, broken links or missing titles and the button to start remained grayed out on each one.
Developer: You mean like this other review you were quick to discredit and call fake that says the same thing I just did? You seem to not accept that your add on doesn't work for everyone and blame the user! This is a sign of developer arrogance. Your app is worthless if it doesn't work and it does NOT.
"I've installed it and I have a screen with a little box with 3 options of analysing bookmarks.
There are three balls rippling back and fore from small to large which I presume is telling me summat's happening, but - nothing's happening.
Half an hour now and Zero Bookmarks in the box on the screen.
Am I missing something ?
There IS also a box in which the words "Check bookmarks" appears. It is greyed out and cannot be selected."Developer response

posted 7 years agoworking add-on, but only one star and no comment from an anonymous user: spam - Rated 1 out of 5by Firebreathing, 7 years agoGreat idea, but so many false positives that it makes it worthless. Can only give it one star until bugs fixed. This should have been released as "alpha" version.

posted 7 years ago> This should have been released as "alpha" version
That's not a fair statement. It's not the fault of Bookmarks Organizer. There were some false positive mitigations in Bookmarks Organizer 2.0 but these improvements were not possible before Firefox 59 for technical reasons.

- Rated 1 out of 5by doncalvo, 7 years agovon ca. 2300 bookmarks werden 2297 in wenigen minuten gescant, die vorletzten 2 brauchen 10 minuten, die letzte ist auch nach 30 min. nicht gescant - ein zwischenergebnis über 2299 gescante bookmarks wird nicht dargestellt. absolut unbrauchbar.

posted a year agoCan you please test again with a current version and re-review? Thanks!- Rated 1 out of 5by Hirschferkel, 7 years agoIt does not work! Whith each runcycle the addon detects new, not working URLs (while some of these work!) and after deleting these new ones occur again.
And it takes ages to scan all links (seems there is no good delay after which not working URLs get aborted)
No control what the addon does. While it works in the background one cannot see if it crashed already.
No chance to interrupt or see intermediate results. No batch processing of links. I would not recommend it.
After having deleted not working URLs and starting the Addon again, the addon detects new entries which it did not durung the first run? So it does not work reliable... be aware.Developer response

But the process stopped 1 link before the end and stays there endless. Process doesn't finish.» Pretty much that. Besides, once I refreshed the page to try it again it was impossible to even start the process.

posted a year agoCan you please test again with a current version and re-review? Thanks!- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13127574, 7 years agoWorking with FF 57.0.2. (64 Bit)
Searching for broken or unavailable links:
The AddOn found many broken links very fast. But the process stopped 1 link before the end and stays there endless. Process doesn't finish.
Searching for duplicate links:
The AddOn doesn't show any duplicate links, but starts to delete links without my confirmation. A look into the FF bookmark backups showed me, that there where really nearly 100 bookmarks deleted.
So I closed the tab of the AddOn hoping this will stop the process. In this moment FF crashed. After starting FF again, ALL my bookmarks were lost.
I hope you understand my rating. I deleted the AddOn for now.
It's a pitty because FF seems not to able to created an integrated bookmark organizer. So i still hope you get this AddOn work bug free.
My best wishes for that project.Developer response

I have 1558 BMs and your 'broken bookmarks' did not not complete the scan. So I tried 'missing bookmarks names', which found 4, but the list was most un-useful.
I would hope that clicking on the entry shown in your report would take me to the link in question to determine what to do.
Sorry, but for now, I have removed the add-on.Developer response

Warum muss die ganze Geschichte eigentlich in englischer Sprache laufen - ohne Möglichkeit auf z.B. Deutsch umstellen zu können.
Ich habe das Addon gleich wieder gelöscht...
LG

posted a year agoNichts von dem, was du schreibst, entspricht der Wahrheit. Weder besitzt Firefox diese Funktion noch musst du die Erweiterung auf Englisch nutzen. Die Erweiterung steht seit dem ersten Tag in deutscher Sprache zur Verfügung. Bitte teste erneut und bewerte dann noch einmal. Danke. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13514172, 7 years agoI get so many false positives that it becomes really annoying. And there's nothing I can do. I double check the site, the link is correct, it isn't a redirect but comes back as broken. It will be nice to be able to whitelist these mistakes made by the checker. It stalls at the last link from time to time which is also a problem. (Firefox 57, about 540 bookmarks) I originally gave this three stars a while back but it still does a terrible job. About 35% of bookmarks come back as errors. Even after replacing so-called redirects with suggested alternatives it comes back as an error. It's much easier and better to save bookmarks as an html file and check with standalone link checker. I use Xenu. Thee errors went from 177 out of 540 to 11, which were true redirects I wanted to keep.

posted a year agoI don't understand your review at all. The add-on does what it promises, and of course you can delete broken bookmarks.

posted a year agoCan you please test again with a current version and re-review? Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12312529, 7 years agoI appreciate the effort to develop the extension but to be honest the interface is ugly and impractical. Regarding results I have found that out of some 3000 links the extension did find some 10% as broken. Testing the "broken" links I have found that most of them rendered the pages just fine.
Extension deleted.Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry, it's okay if you don't like the interface but it's not okay to say "it's ugly", there are enogh other users liking the interface. Also I can't confirm that only 10 percent of the found broken bookmarks are really bookmarks. And most important: There is NO issue reported by you. You give a bad review without contacting the developer to give him the possibility to react. That's really not okay. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12374321, 7 years agoThe 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)Developer response
posted a year agoThis issue is fixed since a long time. Can you please test again and re-review? - Rated 1 out of 5by oc48, 7 years agoAfter 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?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry that you have problems. But there is an issue tracker where you can report bugs. AMO reviews are NOT for bug reports…
And yes, no one can expect that Firefox can handle the opening of 140.000 websites at the same time…
