posted 2 years agoYes, I'm aware, track this bug here: https://github.com/eric-bixby/auto-sort-bookmarks-webext/issues/75- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12189726, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Shine, 5 years agoExclusion options don't seem to work properly, so it aggressively sorts folders you don't want sorted. It also sorted incorrectly at first until it was prompted to do so again.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14249563, 7 years agoThis actually did nothing. No matter how I changed settings or clicked "sort" nothing happened.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Matthias, 7 years agono sorting by name or most visited
the addon just messes up the bookmarks - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14202256, 7 years agoScreewed everything! Now I cannot move my bookmark as i want: some bookmarks just simply want to move where I want. Now I'm stuck with unorganize bookmarks... thanks!

posted 6 years agoDid you try excluding the folder you want to manually sort using the Configure Folders feature?- Rated 1 out of 5by EllinikiGeek, 7 years agoNo Android support, and no mention of it. That's more the fault of Mozilla, which barely tolerates Android, but it would be nice to know *before* installing the add-on.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Rinux, 7 years agoAs stated before, settings dialog showing up at every start is ANNOYING. Yes, I clear my history and cookies on exit but this is the only add-on that does that.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ImdaPrincesse, 7 years agoSays it's installed on my Android device but I can't do anything in the settings. I've used it on my laptop for ages and I was hoping it'd function on my phone... I was wrong.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12680106, 7 years agoSettings dialog comes up every time Firefox starts.
The options are not stored though button is clicked. - Rated 1 out of 5by firebox666, 7 years agoThis version is a disaster, do not install until this thing gets some testing.
- Defaulted to Auto Sort after update. The First Rule of Extension Club is - Don't default something on, especially when it's buggy as hell.
- Missing functionality present in previous version - The Second Rule of Extension Club - don't default something on when it has less functionality
- It is completely confused about separators, these are just ending up wherever.
Looks like you took this over from the original developer. Good for you, but you would have been better off changing the name and not misleading people as to what they're getting. I have a lot of bookmarks, and they are synced across multiple browsers with Xmarks, so this thing screwing the pooch resulted in me spending a good hour getting things sorted (no pun intended), which I eventually rectified by reloading the last 2.x version (which actually works).
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but learn to beta. If I load some half-tested or untested garbage that I know is beta, that's on me. You unleashing it on thousands of people without their knowledge, that's on you.Developer response
posted 7 years agoNext version will disable auto-sort by default. I did release betas of 3.0, so I expect you to help test the next update on the GitHub site: https://github.com/eric-bixby/auto-sort-bookmarks-webext
Keep in mind this is an open-source product that I do in my spare time and not Fight Club. We all need to contribute, so you can do that by helping test it and not expect others to do it for you. - Rated 1 out of 5by CSD Projects, 7 years agoWas great until the latest update which removed exclude-folders causing it to switch to defaults and sort ALL my bookmarks, so they are completely messed up now.
The addon should NOT have remained enabled if functionality was removed that would cause a behavior change without the users permission. Better it remain broken/none functional than suddenly sort everyones bookmarks in a way they did not want. Very unimpressed.
