- Rated 4 out of 5by chojrak11, a year agoI like this extension, however there's one thing that could be improved: Inactivity wait "Minimum value of 3 and maximum of 255." Why is that? I want the sort to occur immediately! I'm wasting a lot of time waiting until the folder that I drag and drop lands in its ordered position. Please make a minimum of 0 seconds!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Zeraco, 4 years agoAs some people point out, exclusion of folders does not work, please fix it! Otherwise, it's a very good tool!

- Rated 4 out of 5by pgchase, 7 years agoI would give it a 5 but the update over-rode my previous configuration settings, and I had to do them all over again. Arrrgghh.

posted 6 years agoSorry about that. I did consider a setting migration option, but it didn't seem stable to me. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14031946, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13691733, 7 years agoWorks very well. Provides a function one would think would be built into the browser. A recent update is asking for access to my browsing history, however, which is a little creepy. Don't understand how this would be necessary or enhance the extension's functionality. Would love an explanation. Until then, I've just refused the update.

posted 6 years agoThat's because there's an option to sort based on the last time a bookmark was accessed and this requires access to the browsing history. I'm not collecting this information. - Rated 4 out of 5by edjay, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Will, 7 years agoThis 3.2 version is now working much better with the exclude Folder option! However, the options page reappears every time the cookies are cleaned/deleted. Strange that settings are stored in a cookie when there is a dedicated Extensions storage defined for Firefox ...
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13668330, 7 years agoWould be 5 star but why does it need the access my browsing history?
Without accepting this I can not update the add-on.Developer response

I'm not collecting this information. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12306220, 7 years agoThis add-on has served me well. I never liked the way Firefox adds bookmarks to the bottom of folders, rather than the top, by default. When saving links to forum threads, usually the most recent are the most relevant, so I like those to appear at the top, so each time I would have to go in and drag the bookmark all the way to the top, often involving scrolling. This add-on has made it possible to get my bookmarks sorted the way I want automatically.
I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the latest update (which seems to have taken place yesterday) which has resulted in all my bookmarks and folders getting sorted alphabetically. The worst part is that the bookmark separators have all been moved to the top, so now it's going to be a huge load of work getting it all to look the way it was. I understand this is freeware and I'm glad the developer has no intention of causing anyone problems, but I'm rather disappointed that this update has not been fully tested before releasing it.
As usually, spilling wine on the sofa takes half a second; cleaning up can take hours.
Firefox is partly to blame, because this add-on worked flawlessly for a long time but then it got marked as 'legacy' following a recent Firefox update, thus forcing the developer to rewrite the code. This problem may never have happened if the code didn't have to be re-written.
I'm giving it 4 stars to encourage the developer to continue working on it. We appreciate your efforts, now please fix this update! :)Developer response
posted 7 years agoThere was testing, but it was cut short due to a slightly earlier than expected release of Firefox 57 (Quantum), so I rushed it to get just alphabetical sorting out in 3.0. I didn't realize how many people relied on the "excluded folders" feature (I don't use it myself so it wasn't a problem for me). I'm working on an update, so check the GitHub site for the latest status. Also, don't forget to make backups of your bookmarks. - Rated 4 out of 5by Sillypsybin, 7 years agoStill has some issues. At first I thought this worked perfectly after the update, sorting by date added. But then when I came back to my bookmarks later, the order was scrambled. I played around with settings and results were varied. Sometimes I could get it to re-sort by date added, sometimes not. But always, the order would re-arrange itself over time.
