- Rated 1 out of 5by Pablo Vieira, 4 months agoI can see duplicates in front of my very eyes. The addon reports "zero found"...
Reply to developer's reply: I just used "Bookmarks clean up" by itwillnotbeasy and it worked like a charm. You might reconsider your current algorithm. Asking users to enter an "expert" mode AND advising to proceed with care is really bad UX design.Developer response
posted 4 months agoAre you sure that they have exactly the same URL, symbol by symbol, up to the very end? Otherwise you might need to use the “Expert mode“ to ignore different aspects of the URL or to use another criteria than the URL to determine duplicates. However, I would not advise you to do so unless you exactly understand what you are doing in this mode, as this might consider much more bookmarks as duplicates than you would like to.
Reply to your reply: By design, the extension does what it says, namely removing duplicate bookmarks. If you want something else - removing *similar* bookmarks - you can get this feature in expert mode; but it lies in the nature of things that this is a very dangerous feature. Especially if you do not understand exactly what is "similar" by the regular expressions you chose, chances are high that you remove bookmarks you actually wanted to keep. If it worked for your use case, that's fine for you, but unless you re-check very carefully manually, chances are high that you remove too much this way. - Rated 5 out of 5by spark9, 5 months agoPerfectly works as intended. Can't thank the creator enough! Deleted my copied bookmarks AND my empty bookmark folders!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14310524, 5 months agoThis superb tool got my bookmark collection out of a huge mess – a snarl that, as it turned out, contained some 15,000 duplicates, most of which were created by forces unknown to me (presumably bookmarks synchronizers) and a few by my own fumbling. To untangle this snarl, I had to use the tool's "expert mode" and get some help from Martin Väth, its creator, whose assistance was very clear and correct (as is his published documentation of the tool).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13737990, 5 months agoIf you are getting stuck on "removing bookmarks" or any other action, then make sure to update firefox to the latest version or restart the browser. That fixed it for me! Great extension, solves my problem in a really elegant solution!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 8 months agoThis is by far the best bookmark manager. It finds duplicates with a single click, then offers options to select them (another click can select all duplicated bookmarks, except the first, and one more can remove the rest, couldn't be any simpler!) What's best about this extension is not even the options: while others do whatever they were supposed to do silently, keeping one wondering if they're working or just failing and crashing quietly, this one shows a nice progress bar! It also has an advanced filter mode that can go beyond exact duplicate finding.
