As a suggestion, it would be nice if it stored used pattern somehow.

It wasn't explicitly noted that the regex version does show the proposed changes and then lets you explicitly enable/disable each one, which is exactly what I had hoped for!
All my reddit bookmarks are now explicitly old.reddit. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17866096, 4 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ivan, 4 months agoFound all functionality that I expected, except the ability to edit folders.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 7046564, 5 months agoI just tried the regex replacer and it works beautifully. Very useful tool.
- Rated 5 out of 5by BlackWinny, 7 months agoGreat! Uses a lot of system resources when having tens of thousands of bookmarks, but works absolutely perfect!

- Rated 5 out of 5by ajaxStardust, a year agoNice. Nice. Quickly became one of my most used extensions as I have multiple profiles synced across multiple Mozilla browsers (Firefox Nightly, Waterfox, etc.). Slowly approaching my ultimate bookmarks collection this way. (of course in no small part, facilitated with the convenience of your extension; your hard work!)
**My favorite benefit** :
Having development servers setup on my LAN, some of my BM titles represent stuff like 10.0.0.38 (or, whatever it might be). I've since switched to using named hosts, as my ISP service goes out frequently and the router assigned new IP addresses. Lesson learned, but a lot of my BM's (bookmarks, not the other bm) represented <-- past-tense, those IP's, in the title as well. So 10.0.0.38 easily becomes DevServerOne in both title and URL in one fell swoop.
Awesome!
Disclaimer: I may be crazy, but occasionally, I have a bright idea.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12797475, 3 years agoused it to change about 1000 http bookmarks to https.
It didn't change the 'add time' or the 'last visit' date.
BUT it did erase all the TAGS for the changed bookmarks.
Good work on this extension,but as I use tags a lot, I am gonna reload the saved bookmarks.
EDIT: Thank you MrOtherGuy for the reply.
I read the bugtrack and it makes sense. Guess I am back on manual changes or playing with JSON.Developer response
posted 3 years agoWell, that is very unfortunate. The behavior to remove tags however is not limited to this extension, as it turns out it's a Firefox bug that whenever any extension modifies a bookmark URL then all its tags are removed. Here is the relevant bugzilla entry for that: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1440988
You can test the regexp mode to change just the bookmark title but leave the url fields empty - in that case the urls won't be changed and thus the tags should be preserved. Unfortunately this won't help you update your http bookmarks then, sadly it looks like no extension can do that while preserving tags.
But I need to add this information into the extension UI - so thanks for the heads-up. - Rated 5 out of 5by papo, 3 years agoexactly what I needed. Used regex on my 17000 big DB, modifying 500 entries. Works OK.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Emmanuel, 3 years agoI used it to replace a Nitter's instance by another one in 88 bookmarks, it is fast and reliable. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14495623, 3 years agoWorks for me, tried both RegExp and Domain Name modes. Just what I needed, thanks!
