- Rated 1 out of 5by Michel, 4 years agoWorks badly enough to be unuseable.
Finds as "broken" perfectly working, recent, fast bookmarks, so you have to check one by one everything it finds.
Does not say why the link has an error. Eg. if it doesn't answer, is broken (404), has an authentication error (which can be OK since you are not logged on), etc. so the results are useless.
It is not possible to mass-delete a group of bookmarks anyway.
Quite slow altogether, even with a 1Gb link it's slow.
Doesn't cache the results even for a little time so if you inavertendly close the result windows while checking for actually broken links, you must start over again.
Can't stop a running task, so if you started over again and find it too long, you can't cancel it to search for something else.
Can't choose where to start or which folder to check, it's all or nothing.
Won't remove obsolete separation lines, so if you deleted a number of bookmarks you get a collection of useless separation lines in the folder.
Will do nothing to actually "organize" your bookmarks, the name is misleading.
You cannot whitelist a folder.
Bye bye.Developer response
posted 4 years agoIt is not really slow if you think about it how the Bookmarks Organzier works. While I could make a few changes to make it a bit (not a lot!) faster if would mean that the quality of the results could no longer be the same. From a quality POV the Bookmarks Organizer has the most advanced algorithm to determine if bookmarks are still valid or not. We talk about bookmarks. I think false results are really bad for bookmarks. That's why I used an quality-focused approach.
Giving only one star just because it hasn't all the features you would like to see is a very bad way to interact with an add-on developer. There are no surprises at all, I described in detail what this add-on offers. So if it's not enough you could could know it before you installed the add-on. One star makes sense if the add-on does not hold what it promised but that's really nothing you could say about this add-on.
FWIW, I accept pull requests for enhancements and new features. - Rated 5 out of 5by Boersenfeger, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Forby, 4 years agoKatastrophe: Sah nach einem zweiten Durchlauf alle meine Lesezeichen als Fehler an und löschte sämtliche. Tipp: vorher Lesezeichenbackup machen!
Developer response
posted 4 years agoMit Verlaub, aber das ist GELOGEN. Der Bookmarks Organizer löscht niemals von alleine Lesezeichen. Der Bookmarks Organizer löscht ausschließlich Lesezeichen, wenn du den Befehl zum Löschen gibst. Das ist ein Fakt. Es ist vom Code des Bookmarks Organizers her technisch gar nicht möglich, dass das von alleine passiert. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12896834, 4 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Opa Smurf, 4 years ago"finds" , but does not organize nor delete doubles - which isn't really helpful - since i already know i have doubles, firefox the usual culprit here. Manually deleting 2000+ bookmarks is certainly something i won't do. (buku /linux cli) but still searching for an Xmarks replacement for windows
Developer response
posted 2 years agoYou can delete duplicates. Bookmarkss Organizer is not a replacement for Xmarks, that's something totally different. - Rated 3 out of 5by agBAZE, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by aringx, 4 years agoEvery DELETE must be confirmed -- if there are hundreds, just annoyng
Developer response
posted 2 years agoNo. You can disable the confirmation dialogs in the add-on's settings. Can you please test again with a current version and re-review? Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14784338, 4 years agoThe scan feature is extremely fast, the fastest from the extensions I've used of this nature thus far. However, the lack of a delete all or a checkbox system to make that part of the process faster makes this utterly useless unless you only have a handful of bookmarks. At which point, you could do everything this extension does manually anyway. To make matters, better or worse, when deleting a bookmark you have to manually confirm its deletion.
I don't know about other users, but the reason I need an extension like this is because my bookmarks are in the 10,000 range (actually used to be more like 50,000 but it got better). Because of this, not only is it important that the scan feature is reliable and relatively quick, but the ease of what comes next is also important.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThank you for the feedback. I understand it but it's still hard to give only one star if the scan feature (that's the most difficult part!) does work well.
I hope to find the time for a better multi bookmark UI in the future. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16706737, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by drliu1202, 4 years agoIt is a bookmarks checker. I have to delete duplicated bookmarks manually.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13536747, 4 years agoWorks really good, look nice, just the pop-up warning should be able to be disabled
Developer response
posted 2 years agoThank you! You can already disable the confirmation dialogs in the add-on's settings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16430703, 4 years agoExcellent extension - I've had many bookmarks for 10+ years or older. Extension quickly identified the ones no longer working - duplicates and redirects. My initial bookmark count was 2119 now 769. No problems whatsoever with the extension

- Rated 3 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 4 years agoGood 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).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12370795, 4 years agoGot stuck after having analysed all my bookmarks for several hours.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16369757, 4 years agoSo ein tolles Helferlein! Da mußte ich doch mal gleich die Spende anklicken. In der Hoffnung, daß Bookmarks Organizer bald von Mozilla als "Empfohlen" qualifiziert wird. Und vor allem eine Art Whitelist updaten!
