- Rated 5 out of 5by ImRan, 5 years agoVery helpful time saving Bookmark organizing add-on, removing duplicate bookmark, merging duplicate folders. Thanks a lot for this. I wish Firefox had these features builtin in Bookmark library.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15125262, 5 years agoThere was a bit more manual interaction required than i would have liked (e.g. when it absolutely refuses to remove the last copy of a bookmark in batch mode, forcing the user to delete them individually). Also, the URL checker process pops up countless HTTP auth dialogs for sites which use HTTP Basic authentication. i'm not certain that this extension can avoid those, but it is irritating (i've got dozens of them). In any case, it's simple, clean, and easy enough to use, and it allowed me to go through and clean up a great many useless bookmarks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mike, 5 years agoIt actually does what it says, and what's needed. Unlike many other extensions like this, it works to combine trees of folders properly, and then to identify and remove all the duplicate bookmarks in each individual folder.
The addition of an excluded folders is a major bonus when dealing with external bookmark sync tools. - Rated 5 out of 5by OtakuBurrito, 5 years ago

posted 6 years agoI recently uploaded a new version, can you try and tell if its working for you?- Rated 1 out of 5by strazydaze, 6 years agoAt times, I deliberately use the same bookmarks for different things. I KNOW that I have duplicate bookmarks. Yet, it found none.

posted 6 years agoThats strange. Are u sure that these bookmarks have the same url (same domain & path & parameters) ? Also this extension doesn't visit links, so can't detect redirects, this may be the issue. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13095960, 6 years agoThank you for your hard work. But sometimes it'd be useful to have duplicates. So could you pls add a function to allow that? By that I mean allowing adding the same url in different folders at the same time. Now it is impossible. Best wishes!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Newrone, 6 years agoI found 6k "broken URLs" out of 20k, but scanning through them, I can often see why: the link is an obscure & obsolete page within a useful site, so I need to be able to open the link properties & edit (shorten) the target address, but there's no option to do this, and no indication of where (what folder or subfolder) the bookmark is, so if I want to edit the links I'm going to have weeks of work ahead of me - and I'll need to save the result!
Suggestion: If an address is "broken", search again minus the last folder/page & offer that as an alternative address if it is alive.
Otherwise it seems to work fine. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14607456, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by B Tang, 6 years agoLooks good, but please add a function to include only certain folders in the duplicates search. If we have 100 folders and only want to compare 2, it takes a long time to exclude the other 98.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoI'll think about it. Btw folder exclusion is recursive, so you need to exclude only the parent folder, all subfolders will be also ignored. - Rated 2 out of 5by Richard L Walker, 6 years agoPart of this app works well. With over 3000 bookmarks, this app stops checking for broken URLs at about 2400. Stops cold. The pause doesn't work at this point. There is no way to "select all" and no way to delete the bookmarks with broken URLs.
I uninstalled the app, reinstalled the app and got the same problem again. The duplicates part of the app, including the merge, works well. The broken apps? Not so much.
The search for an app goes on.Developer response
posted 6 years agoYou gave 0 details describing how to reproduce this problem
Are there any errors in the browser console (f12->console)?
Have you waited enough time to ensure if it "stopped cold"?
Which operating system and Firefox version you are using? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14486077, 6 years agoProblem solved.
All 'find' functions are fast, very fast.
Wishes:
1) A progress bar in the merge duplicate folders
2) A "Select all" option in the duplicate files result (active on ony ONE duplicate list)
Five stars even as it is.Developer response
posted 6 years agoAre you able to delete this bookmarks from built-in firefox bookmarks manager (ctrl+shift+b)?
Some bookmarks could be configured by an administrator or by the custodian of a supervised user so and they can't be deleted by the user.
OR it's the issue with firefox sync itself.
Anyway, I can't reproduce this issue on my pc =/ - Rated 1 out of 5by Romero, 6 years agoThis add on lacks instructions how to use it. Backup instructions are not enough. I tried to make this work but no success. I have at least several thousand duplicates including duplicate folders etc. It found not one duplicate bookmark.

posted 6 years agoJust checked - duplicates search is working fine for me.
4 main functions — 4 buttons, doesn't seems too complicated that needs additional instructions - Rated 5 out of 5by 草木灰, 6 years agoI am a Chinese user, thanks to the extension provided by the author, from chrome to firefox..
- Rated 5 out of 5by thomascathybell, 6 years agoThis add-on works very well in all of its functions. The "Merge duplicate folders" feature is unique and this is the only add-on that I have found to get rid of multiple duplicate paths. It would be beneficial to have a way to see the progress during the "Merge duplicate folders" operation so that it can be seen when the operation is complete.
- Rated 5 out of 5by happysurf, 6 years agoFantastic tool very well done.
Just one small cosmetic suggestion, after the scan the list and addon title are not centered on screen.

After: http://oi67.tinypic.com/nfjpth.jpg - Rated 4 out of 5by Juanka Hula, 6 years agoGreat addon. Could you add an "exclude folder" option. Many session restorer addons and similar ones use the bookmarks as a backup and duplicates on those folders are very frequent and required so it would be nice to be able avoid scanning that. Thank you. Also it would be great if you could add a way to contact you like a mail or github in case someone wants to request a feature or report a bug.

posted 6 years agoThank you for your feedback! I definitely will add this feature in the next update.
UPD: version 0.0.2 now has exclude folder option.
