- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18690530, 10 days agoUsed to work okay, but after the last update the keyboard shortcut stopped working. I tried to get it working again and it will switch bookmark bars again from a keyboard shortcut, but it also keeps duplicating bars, wiping out bookmarks, and just hanging where it won't work at all for several attempts. I can still switch from the menu but it's much more annoying that way. The weird behaviors makes the plugin feel very sketchy.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17965230, a year agoPretty buggy, if you have only one computer it works fine, but switching between two computer can sometimes makes them not sync, and create fake/ghost profile. I almost lost a ton of bookmarks. Also the 'not synchronize profile' is also buggued, I wanted to have a profile A on my home computer and profile B on my Work computer, and it started to create a ton of fake profile. the way this add on work is by copying and deleting bookmark from bookmark folder to another, but it should keep the original copy in the switcher folder to not mangled with firefox own bookmark synchro
- Rated 2 out of 5by Nem, a year agoI very much wanted this plugin to work - I do different work on my different computers and want a different "Bookmarks Toolbar" on each one. It *mostly* worked between my Mac and Windows boxes, but never quite worked with my Linux machine. Not sure how/why (seems pretty straightforward), but it would move bookmarks between groups or duplicate them. I backed up beforehand (as suggested) and never really lost anything, but I'm amazed I didn't. Guessing there's something buggy with the way the groups are indexed and/or synced between computers. Maybe I need to shut down all my browsers but one, install, setup, sync and then try installing on the others.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Norbert, 2 years agoVery usefull to keep a distinction between work, hobbies and other bookmarks. However sometimes it gets bugged and mixes the various bookmarks from different toolbars

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nicolas Wurtz, 2 years agoDo exactly what it is supposed to do, no more no less, and it was exactly what I was looking for.
It supports perfectly Firefox Sync between devices.
Super boulot Florent ! et Merci ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Pete, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17623494, 2 years agoSeems cool, but I'm not sure how to add bookmarks to the new bars that I made? I have a work one, and an AI one, I'm on Firefox on Mac. Edit: I found it, I just had to restart firefox.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15066851, 3 years agoDeletes all your bookmarks when you swap to a different computer.
EDIT: Doesn't seem to be a way to reply to reponses, so I'll just edit my review. No, in this case your extension deleted my book marks. I swapped from one bar to another, but both bars were empty and so I lost all the bookmarks on both my bars I had setup. I looked everywhere in my bookmark manager but they were not in the switcher folders. Luckily I had a back up, but this is very inconvenient.Developer response
posted 3 years agoI'd be glad to help with this! Have you installed the addon on both computers?
The addon doesn't delete anything, it just moves them from a folder to another. Check your bookmarks folders to see if they're not somewhere. - Rated 5 out of 5by Astalab, 3 years agoNickel, fonctionne parfaitement. Concernant le Alt+ Espace, il m'affiche également une petite fenêtre par défaut mais en changeant le raccourci (dans about:addons comme indiqué par le développeur) c'est réglé. Merci beaucoup, très bon travail !

posted 3 years agoMerci beaucoup pour votre commentaire, c'est très apprécié !
En effet je pense que sur Windows, ce raccourcis est déjà utilisé par le système. J'ai rajouté comment modifier ce raccourcis dans la description de l'extension, pour que d'autres le sachent plus rapidement. - Rated 5 out of 5by Frans, 3 years agoWorks as advertised. Thank you!

Can you please add an indicator of some sort that allows us to know which bookmark 'profile' we're in? Thank you. :)

Up to 5-stars since developer deserves it for a wonderful extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by miséoprosopone, 3 years agoBonjour Florent, génial ton module, je recherchais cela depuis un moment. Seulement j'ai un petit soucis le raccourci alt space ne fonctionne pas. Cela m'ouvre une petite fenêtre en relation avec la taille de fenêtre ( réduire agrandir...déplacer fermer...) Merci encore pour ton travail ;)

Je vais regarder pour corriger le raccourcie clavier, merci de m'avoir prévenu !
EDIT: Apparemment le raccourci clavier fonctionne chez moi.
Peux-tu essayer de modifier le raccourci pour voir si cette combinaison n'est pas juste déjà prise ? (about:addons > roue crantée > Gérer les raccourci des extensions) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12897888, 3 years agoI really wanted to like this Add-On, as I have long wanted Firefox to incorporate bookmark switching. However on first 'switch' the Add On entirely re-ordered my Bookmarks Toolbar. Tiresome!

posted 3 years agoIt should have been fixed on last version (1.1.2) release yesterday, let me know! - Rated 5 out of 5by aptharsia, 3 years agoThis is something I didn't know I needed! Switches quickly, great to keep work/home bookmarks separate. But when switching back/forth between bookmark bars, my folders are move/out of order including the separators.

This bug is definitely something I'm trying to solve, sorry for the inconvenience it gives. - Rated 5 out of 5by mooksy, 4 years agoLooks like it could be a viable replacement for Bookmark Bar Switcher from Chrome with a little more development. Only being able to toggle between two different bookmark bars is limiting though. I'd like to have a list to select from i.e Household, Business, Personal etc
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16768682, 4 years agoSuper extension!
Je vais pouvoir arrêter d’utiliser plusieurs session de Firefox (Professionnel 1, Professionnel 2, personnel).
J’attends avec impatience les évolutions.
merci au développeur.Developer response

N'hésites pas à me faire part des idées si tu en as :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Daniil, 4 years agoThank for the extension, very helpful to focus on work.
There are some issues, for example,
sometimes it sorts bookmarks and folders randomly after switching,
and sometimes it moves all bookmarks to single bar when I add new bookmark to bar.
Update (04.05.2021): random sort still occurs. The second bug is probably gone. New feature with multiple bars is awesome.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHello, thank you very much for your review!
I updated the extension recently and tried to improve this bug.
Please keep me in touch if it stills occurs for you! :)
