- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16238091, a year agoTried to use it and all I got was "Wait background load" I cannot even uninstall it from Firefox! I get a gray box with a dot in the center of it on the Firefox Add-ons page.

posted a year agoHello, sorry for the problem, and strange that you cannot even uninstall it, that would suggest a Firefox problem maybe.
Would you mind opening an issue on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues, with a screenshot of the Firefox Add-ons page, and also indicating to me which version of Firefox this is, on which OS ?
Also, could I ask you to go to the Options page of the add-on, activate the Traces option, and then would you agree applying this procedure https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/wiki#debugging-bsp2--reporting-errors and report me the errors or messages that you see ?
Thank you in advance, and again sorry for the inconvenience, aaFn. - Rated 1 out of 5by Bagus I, 4 years agohey ,,, why I cant select more than one bookmark in the same time, to copy or cut the bookmark to another folder. this is important thing right?? i want manager my phone bookmark with my dekstop
Developer response
posted 4 years agoHello Bagus, yes this is important and this is work in progress, see https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/29 and https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues/181
This is a multi-steps work in the code, and I do not have a lot of time currently, but coming soon now.
Thanks, aaFn.

Hello @Bagus, you will be happy to see that now multi-selection is available, as of 2.0.103 :-) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15037318, 6 years agoHere is what this addon asks when you install it.
"Store unlimited amount of client-side data"
To ask such a request is INADMISSIBLE and nothing short of theft of the highest level. It can also leads to unbelievable penalizing use of your storage space on your computer.
Any developer who makes such a request is to be considered with a very high level of suspicion, as it is a highly fraudulent request. Shame on you the developer to make such a request.
There cannot be any justifiable reason to make such a request except for fraudulent purposes!!!Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello, all is explained here -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/wiki/Permissions-and-Privacy-policy
The 2 reasons for a bigger amount of storage than 5 MB are because:
- Firefox does not give access to favicons, so they have to be stored in local storage https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1411120
- Firefox is very slow on the query to get all bookmarks and so to be fast on next starts after 1st run, the add-on has to cache them in local storage https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1396364
and some users have very large amouns of bookmarks (> 80000), so 5 MB is not enough.
By the way, if you have any doubt, the code is plain open and FULLY COMMENTED FOR READABILITY, anybody can read and look at it to verify.
Thank you for your understanding, aaFn. - Rated 1 out of 5by Spiccico, 6 years agoThe addon works fine, BUT since I installed it, Firefox tries to open a lot of unwanted pages (luckily blocked by my kaspersky).
I removed the addon and no unwanted page has been reported anymore.
So what?Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello Spiccico, explanation is in the add-on description, and in that page also -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/wiki/Permissions-and-Privacy-policy
Firefox does not give access to its favicons database (the little image besides each bookmark), so the add-on has to fetch them one by one from the bookmarked URLs, on its first start and next ones, until they are all fetched.
If you do not want favicon fetching, and so do not want to have the images, simply disable favicon fetching in the add-on options page.
Of course, as soon as bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616 is corrected, I will modify the add-on to get the favicons from the FF internal DB, and there will be no more fetching.
Note: Chrome does give access to its favicon DB, but not Firefox today.
Meanwhile, once again, turn off the option if you do not want it.
I hope this clarifies, aaFn. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13717362, 6 years agoIt does NOT show the folder where the bookmark is contained (using Macbook Pro).
Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello, I do not have a Mac to test all myself, but this certainly works everywhere, or other users would have complained before.
- When you search, a new panel opens with the list of matching bookmark items.
- Then click on the one you want to show and the main panel will scroll down to show the corresponding item in the real list, with its sibblings around and ancestors above.
- If the list of sibblings is big and you do not see the parent folder, simply right click on the bookmark item and select "Go parent folder".
What are you trying to do which is not working ? Could you open an issue there https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues so that I see better ?
Thank you, aaFn. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13000076, 7 years agouseless! This is not a 1:1 GoParentFolder-Addon
A much better solution (replacement) is:

posted 7 years agoHello anonymous, not sure what is useless, and sorry for the bad experience if something is not working.
Would you mind being more specific on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues ?
Note that BSP2 is first a replacement for Bookmark Search Plus from the same author than Go Parent Folder. It does the same thing but runs from inside a sidebar, so that it can remain visible at the same time as your navigation pages.
Bookmarks Manager is a good add-on and is inside a pop up, which is a different philosophy.
I do not believe it is fair to compare both together, it is a question of taste, and tastes are never absolute.
What we all strive for is to be useful to others, so anything allowing to progress is much welcome.
Cheers, aaFn.
