- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12532989, 5 years agoPerfect ! Thank you..
I can now see parent directories again :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Bogo, 5 years agoI am TOTALLY happy with this addon!!!! I only use the sidebar BSP2 instead of the genuine Bookmark-sidebar.
Is it possible, that you even integrate the option, that when clicking on a folder, that another open folder collapses (closes)? It is a pain to always close a used folder, before opening another folder (otherwise the list within the sidebar gets longer and longer and longer as all opened folders stay open...)
AND: Could you integrate the possibility of expanding all folders and closing all folders?
Thank you for thinking about this. I am very grateful for all your efforts....Developer response
posted 5 years agoHello @Bogo, thank you. Interesting idea that opening a folder closes all others at same level .. I'll look at adding it as an option.
On the other one, yes this is planned, it's going to come soon now -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/31

Version 2.0.71 is now published, with the possibility of expanding all folders and closing all folders as an Advanced submenu in the context menu. - Rated 5 out of 5by atreyu, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by loutvi, 5 years agoaddresses effectively the need of easily identifying the containing folder of a bookmark in Firefox; a feature which is desperately missing as built-in in firefox since ever

- Rated 5 out of 5by John Corliss, 5 years agoWorks as advertised, but I'm using the current version of Firefox along with Nirsoft's Currports. I started noticing that under certain conditions, this extension opens ports to all my bookmarked IP addresses. This always causes me lots of problems, bogs down Firefox to a crawl. To prevent this from happening, I was disabling favicon fetching in options. But since this setting keeps getting changed back to allowing favicon fetching for some reason, I'm going to have to remove this extension. In my opinion, the developer needs to make disable favicon fetching by default. Either that, or remove the use of favicons completely from the extension.

posted 5 years agoHello John Corliss, correct, when installing the add-on, it retrieves once each favicon directly on their page and caches them. This is because FF does not give access to its own DB of favicons :-(
Cf. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616
You can let it go and then it stops when all favicons are fetched (duration of the phase will obviously depend on the number of bookmark items you have), or as you did you stop fetching and then miss the little favicons. This will get better when FF fixes the above bug / adds the function.
Thank you, aaFn. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15315060, 5 years agoSimple, efficace, rapide, avec un raccourcis clavier pour aller très vite. J'aime beaucoup. Bravo !!!
Great job !! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15296039, 5 years agoFirefox lacks for parent folder in bookmarks. This extension does the job.

- Rated 5 out of 5by infonutt, 6 years agoUpdate 5/4/20: I somehow lost this addon in whatever/whenever FF updates and I only just found it again. I still stand by my review. Thank you! This time I aim to make sure it stays with me!
You are literally a God send! I can not tell you the number of FF updates I refused to do after Bookmark search plus would no longer work. The very first time I reverted back to the former version to keep it and then I never updated until FF forced me to - and then I hated them, more than figuratively. The only reason my eye was drawn this is b/c I did such an extensive search on Alice0775. I researched her every which way to Sunday.
All to no avail, of course!
But my efforts are now rewarded b/c I recognize her name in your description.
So THANK YOU!!!! I have long waited for this return. I SO appreciate you!!
From my initial use, it is awesome! Works just like it needs to. The added cut and paste is brilliant. Thanks again!!Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello, welcome, and happy this is meeting your need :-)
Your frustration was exactly what happened to me also with FF 57 / Quantum, and which motivated me to take over this sequel, since Alice0775 apparently stopped doing anything on it https://github.com/alice0775/userChrome.js/issues/37#issuecomment-363050019

posted 6 years agoHello, the search function is usually very fast. Could you open an issue on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues to investigate together ?
On multi-selection, yes this is in the todo list https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/29
that will come :-)
AaFn. - Rated 5 out of 5by GNU/Val, 6 years agoSimply excellent!
This is exactly what I've been expecting Mozilla to implement in Firefox (for years! but in vain): locate one given bookmark in my large bookmarks folders tree. Luckily, aaFn did it :) Thank you so much!
If I were to make a little suggestion: would it be possible to remove the extension _version_number_ from the side tool bar, this makes a long string ("Bookmark search plus 2 v2.0.64") that doesn't fit entirely in my side tool bar ;) Plus one doesn't expect to read about the version number there (but rather on the extension configuration page). Thanks. And congratulations for your professional consciousness (great efforts put in documenting your extension, transparency, privacy-awareness, kindness to end users...)!
Looking forward to help translating your extension to French as soon as feasible (what would be the best way to monitor the evolution of this announced internationalization feature btw?).Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello GNU/Val, thank you for the review.
Indeed, now the version is available by hovering on the magnifying glass icon, and also on the toolbar icon, so it is superflouous in the sidebar title, your comment is good. I will remove it in 2.0.65 to make that shorter.
Internationalization is tracked through an issue on GitHub -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/62
I didn't start for now, still acting on functions.
Thank you, aaFn.
------------- Update ---------------
The version is removed from the extension name on the sidebar, as of 2.0.65. Thanks, aaFn. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14787911, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15164096, 6 years agoFantastic! You did an outstanding job giving us the functionality of the old obsolete extension! In fact, I like it better -- it has more functionality. Two instances of it can independently operate side-by-side: in the sidebar and in an adjacent tab. This functionality can be very useful and powerful. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15055336, 6 years agoSuperb Add-on!
I was looking for a bookmarking add-on that would display folders, and subfolders in the results, as well as the webpages.
This add-on allows users to find a bookmark folder with a particular name: simply by searching for the folder's name.
If you then click on the folder in the search results its location will be highlighted in the bookmark tree: Ideal!
This is an excellent add-on!
Congratulations to the creator/creators!
Keep up the excellent work!
