- Rated 3 out of 5by kham013, 3 years agoI uninstalled it because it didn't work as I expected. To restore bookmarks, I used Firefox's Bookmark Manager : Fine. Is it possible to sort only one folder ? how ?

posted 3 years agoYou would use the "exclude folders" feature, but wait till the feature/bug is fixed: https://github.com/eric-bixby/auto-sort-bookmarks-webext/issues/75 - Rated 3 out of 5by Nik A, 3 years agoWorked best with what it describes. However, after making it auto-sort my bookmarks recursively, I found that my browser became extremely unstable and prone to crashing.
- Rated 3 out of 5by L P, 3 years agoThis ad on worked brilliantly for couple of years, but this last month, I have noticed is not sorting some files. I create a new all encompassing every year where then I create folders that are named: a-b-c; d-e-f-g; h-i-j-k and so forth. In the past, it has sorted them out immediately. Now, however, it pushes d-e-f-g before a-b-c. I double checked to make sure there were no spaces before or after each series of letters... I just cannot understand why this is happening. I have over 10.000 bookmarks, and it is fundamental for me they get sorted out alphabetically for easy retrieval, no matter whether it takes 10 seconds or 1 full minute. But as expressed, it worked brilliantly before.

posted 3 years agoFor things like this, it's better to open an issue on the support site. Also, if I cannot reproduce the problem, then the problem does not exist. It might help to get a "filtered" copy of your bookmarks and the steps to reproduce the problem. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13460005, 4 years agoThis extension works roughly well. However, I do not recommend using auto-sorting if you want to sort only bookmarks in some folders, because every time I changed the settings, the target folder settings were reset. For now, I check the folder settings and perform the sorting manually.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16495327, 4 years agoThis almost works for what I wanted, but then fails in the end.
While nice that everything was sorted as promised the second option mentioned in the addon description was the one that made me install it.
As in, I'm someone with a lot of bookmarks from stuff I am reading it is common to have duplicate bookmarks with only the chapter number differing. I could sort by titles to fix this, but I like the bookmarks sorted by date to know which are the oldest. This addon in theory would allow me to sort by date, and then if two similar bookmarks found they would be paired. But this is not the case. The second sorting option has no effect no matter which option is chosen. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14209553, 5 years agoSorts well, but after you sort, the folder configuration resets. This makes the auto-sorting useless for me.

posted 5 years agoMe too. Unfortunately, this will never happen due to Web-Extensions API not supporting tags. Read more here: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/webextensions-api-currently-not-supporting-bookmarks-tags/22677 - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14391517, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by nknm, 7 years agoThis is an excellent add-on with one big problem. It ignores separators when sorting.

posted 6 years agoEither disable auto-sort while editing or increase Inactivity Delay to 45 seconds. - Rated 3 out of 5by BD3, 7 years agoThanks so much for adding the Exclude Folder option! Been waiting for that before I installed the extension. Now that I have installed the extension, the Options page now is opening up in a new tab with EVERY launch of Firefox (latest version, BTW) and the Options settings also are being reverted back to their default settings! These are major issues that must be fixed before I can re enable the extension.
