**UPDATE** Two years now, and I remain hugely impressed by this extension. It is one of the best and most useful tools I have on my computer. Certainly a great improvement on the native FF bookmarks.

Two years ago, there were one or two annoying bugs with this extension (inevitable when it is a one-person development). But one by one, they have been ironed out and are now no longer there!

Added to that, there have been constant improvements, thanks to the developer's openness to all suggestions from users. Most of all, I am highly impressed by his polite and civil attitude to all and everyone. To see this, go to all the one-star reviews (currently 6) and see how he remains civil and friendly to the severest of critics. I take my hat off to this gentleman — I don't think I could display the same level of patience and civility.

Thanks greatly 😄 !

**EDIT** And thanks to the developer for your rapid response to my review :-) In fact, I was just having a problem with a bookmark that would not delete and would not sync to FF bookmarks. Your hint about the "Reload from FF API" button proved to be the solution to that problem! By refreshing the BSP2 bookmark list, it cleared that problematic bookmark. Also thanks for your point about privacy and cookies. That has led me to uncheck the option I had previously checked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really, really like this add-on which I discovered yesterday.

I depend on my Firefox bookmarks and now I can do what I couldn't previously do in Firefox:
1. Search for a bookmark folder
2. Search for a bookmark and INSTANTLY see which folder it is in (this is also a way for me to find other similar bookmarks by locating their folder)
3. The above point is particularly useful for many of my bookmarks which unfortunately don't show a blue star in the navigation bar (an FF bug?). That makes it virtually impossible for me to find their folder without this excellent add-on (I have about 6500 bookmarks so you can well imagine the problem!)

What is more, Bookmarks Search Plus seems to auto-sync with Firefox Bookmarks (presumably, this will be because they are both using the same bookmarks list?).

Doubtless, I will go on to discover other useful features of this add-on, but the above-mentioned already fulfil key functions I need, that are lacking in Firefox's otherwise (for me) excellent bookmarks.

Thanks to the developer for an excellent tool!!

And by the way, for the previous reviewer, I think you are wrong about favicons. I had a similar problem, and so went to the add-ons page, clicked the Options button for Bookmarks Search Plus, and ticked "Include cookies to increase background favicon retrieval success rate" (this is right at the bottom of its Options page) and that seemed to do the trick for me. Hope that helps!

That is the first web extension which add very usefull function like "go to parent folder" and even better "show bookmark". If it would show the favicon, it would be perfect...

Bookmark search : Firefox never show you the folder, so it's impossible to organize stuff; this add-on solve this. Thank you.

Whew! It will free up tons of my man-hours. Very good job!
Some remarks:
- links to local files do not work
- inconsistent behavior when clicking bookmark with middle-mouse-button: link opens in a new tab (as it should), but the sidebar goes into autoscrolling mode

Special thanks for the bookmark statistics in addon/preferences :)

Thank you aaFn and good people at Mozilla for all you effort!

I loved Alice0775, for making available "Go Parent Folder" and "Show Parent Folder" for all the people with more than 10 pages bookmarked.
When you search something in bookmarks, being able to actually go(not just open it, in a tab), where the found bookmark is located, is a MUST have in every default FF.
When I search for something in bookmarks, sometimes I just want to find(because I do not(want to) remember all the hierarchy) the subfolder in which it is, so I can add a new bookmark there. Same logic goes for deleting something and tidying up.
Another missing, but important thing in bookmarks, is to search for FOLDER NAMES too. Same logic as above...say I want to add a website link to bookmarks, but cannot remember the exact name of the folder where I put the similar links. To my knowledge, FF does not search in the names of the folders, it just searches in links. Has this folder name search in bookmarks, been done in those WE? As a workaround for this drawback, I have created a lot of false bookmarks which I named exactly like the folders.
About the translation...I would be happy to translate in my native language(which is not English). Use github translation system(page).
I did not see an email address, where we can talk to you about this extension...maybe you do not want to get bombarded by spam..I get it, although talking through reviews is more difficult and not efficient, and for us non developers, having to use github is not the most convenient way to exchange messages.
Cheers!

Absolutely needed. Just installed it and I can see it is an awesome work. Pressing Ctrl+Q you access the Bookmar searh plus 2 the same way you access to Firefox Bookmarks, History etc on the left pane. You can even see the folders opened as you left them so you can alternate between this view and a different one in FF Bookmarks quickly.
Yet, there's an incovenient. While everything else looks to work consistently, pressing Ctrl+Q opens the left pane but the Search box is not focused (not selected), so you have to take your mouse and go to the search box to start searching for a folder, which it defeats the purpose of the keyboard shortcut (not having to lose time using the mouse or any other device that takes time moving the cursos to place the focus on something).
Moreover, all the other firefox left pane utilities do focus on them with their keyboard shortcut consistently, so we are very used to them, specially to Ctrl+B or Ctrl+H. Then it is frustrating seeing that Ctrl+Q just opens the pane...
Yet, you are doing a good job and working on it, so you deserve the 5 stars now... Thanks!

The "show parent folder" was the functionality I got this for. Perfect!

Edit:
Thanks for your reply, it seems I was trying to drag the only thing that wasn't possible to drag! (highlighting the web address and dragging that), but now that you've pointed out how you can drag
- a tab URL, by dragging from the tab bar at top of the page
- the address bar URL, by dragging the (i) icon at top left
that solves my problem, and also the info about " a link URL in a page, by dragging the link itself" is very useful.
Thanks for your response and help :)

Original Review:
It would be useful if you could add bookmarks by dragging and dropping urls, other than that, it's great and exactly what I was looking for

@ aaFn | Thanks for your timely response.
Update | A few hours before your post I removed the extension and reinstalled it. The Favicon Fetching Pause/Active feature is now working just fine.

Original Comment | Favicon fetching was working after v2.0.37 update. However, after setting fetching to Pause and later resetting to Active, fetching does not activate even after next FF Restart.

Great extension. Thank you very much for doing it and maintaining it. I must also highlight that the best thing I have seen about this extension is not the extension itself, which is great, but the very open, friendly and honest attitude of its developer. To me, this is the biggest asset of all and one that is not so common. That's why this project deserves full five stars, hands down, regardless of whatever minor imperfections that anyone may have mentioned earlier, which the developer has made honest efforts to fix within his/her power. Kudos!

I have waited for so long for a replacement for "Go Parent Folder" and "Show Parent Folder" and had given up all hope of a decent bookmark system for Firefox.

Thank you for at last fixing Firefox's terrible bookmark management!!

Yayy!!

PS: Any chance of adding a replacement for Alice's "Undo Bookmarks Menu" to undo the last change to the menu? This would be very useful for those accidental mistakes where you drag and drop a folder or shortcut somewhere and it "disappears" - normally deep into some folder somewhere!

This is a very nice addon, especially since the coming of Quantum has disrupted many extensions I used before :-(

It would be PERFECT if , in the search result pane, it was possible to edit all the bookmark fields (Name, Location, Tags, Keyword and Description), as in the native feature (currently, only "Name" and "Address" fields can be changed).

Another feature that is missing is a function allowing to sort alphabetically the bookmarks in the selected folder (the FF-native bookmark context menu allows this also).

Thanks for your work, anyway, keep it up!

Outstanding! That is what I've been looking for a long time. Very often you need not only search some bookmark, but also need to get a folder where it is located. This "plus" does all these things by fast and intuitive way. The all I did after install, just set up the option "After `Show bookmark`".

I Love You ...

very easy to use. great replacement for "show parent folder". minor wish - that it worked in "show all bookmarks" window, not just in sidebar, but doesn't detract from filling a need of something I've been missing. Thank you very much!
