I used it to replace a Nitter's instance by another one in 88 bookmarks, it is fast and reliable. Thank you!

    Did exactly what I hoped, thanks!

    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.

    Found all functionality that I expected, except the ability to edit folders.

    Easy to use. Does what promises.

    I just tried the regex replacer and it works beautifully. Very useful tool.

    Great! Uses a lot of system resources when having tens of thousands of bookmarks, but works absolutely perfect!
    You save my life!

    Very helpful. Many thanks to the dev :-)

    Nice. 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.

    This extension does its job as advertised, thank you for saving my hassle to replace hundreds of invalid urls to the working urls.

    used 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.

    Well, 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.

    exactly what I needed. Used regex on my 17000 big DB, modifying 500 entries. Works OK.

    What a life-saver!

    Works for me, tried both RegExp and Domain Name modes. Just what I needed, thanks!

    Worked as expected!

    works really well so far.

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