posted 7 years agoCan you clarify your OS and browser version? Did you get any notification message?- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13394531, 7 years agoThis update has made Diigo all but useless to me. The only reason I'm keeping it is because the "email link" function, while slower now than it was before the update, is still faster than any other I can find. As soon as I find a faster one I'm out of here.
- Rated 2 out of 5by WebDevTony, 7 years agoYES, the missing toolbar does suck! But I can get over that. PLEASE, JUST ADD THE STICKY NOTES TO THE NEW DIIGO BUTTON!
The sticky notes are an extremely useful tool that I use often to cache arbitrary data on a webpage. I'd say it deserves to be in the main menu, more than the "Annotate PDF" or screenshots or whatever...
Thanks though, great tool - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6660448, 7 years agothe tool bar is the only thing that l liked about diigo - now i have find another extension to use...could not leave well enough alone..totally changed the whole program....
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13332712, 7 years agoWhere is the one click bookmark - where are the drop down tagged bookmarks on the toolbar? An annoyance
- Rated 2 out of 5by cherrg1, 7 years agoI need it. Also wasted a lot of time diagnosing where it went and why I could not get it back.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13361564, 7 years agoI liked the highlight function but I don't used daily...
Bring back the toolbar, I really miss it
The new "tool" is very slow, and I have to click too many times to capture pages.
Hopefully you will bring it back soon!
Sincerely - Rated 2 out of 5by jazzonbike, 7 years agoNothing more to add to all the other voices who request it. Why did you retire the most useful features? Please bring them back asap.
Rating down to 2 from 5 - Rated 2 out of 5by MaryAnne1383, 7 years agoI've used this tool for years and I pay to use it. Why would you take away wonderful paid features? Please bring them back. I use these features daily!!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13337189, 7 years agoNot sure why it was taken away, but really want it back. The extension is just not the same. May need to switch browsers and I really like Firefox too!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ma, 7 years agoAt first I thought I had disabled the extension by mistake when I didn't see the familiar toolbar. And then I saw the update. I liked the highlight function but honestly I used it like 10% of the time. What I really REALLY miss is the toolbar that used to let you add bookmarks real quick and remembered the keywords you used. Frankly I don't know why there was a need to get rid of it. Hopefully you will bring it back soon!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tung Nguyen, 7 years agoI normally use it for highlighting new words, phrases and sentences of interest once I read newspapers.
- Rated 1 out of 5by O---xxx--\(..o..)/--xxx----O, 7 years agoWhere is the Bookmarks Sidebar??? Is missing. This version of Diigo is complicated to use, put back the Bookmarks Sidebar. I do not care about the Enable multi-color highlighter, who wants it? what for??? I went from Delicious to Diigo...now what? one star
- Rated 2 out of 5by Curt, 7 years agoThis may have been one of the add-ons that kept me using Firefox before this last update. Integration into the toolbar allowing me to access my bookmarks without requiring me always go through the Diigo website was one of the main features that kept me using Diigo and Firefox. It was built into my daily routines. Without it, I now have to look into other alternatives. I have not fully reviewed the entire latest update so I will continue to review it, but as of now I am looking for better options.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sinclair, 7 years agoWhat happened to the Bookmarks Sidebar? I don't want to have to go to a website to get to all of my bookmarks. :-(
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jaykul, 7 years agoI'm so glad the extension's been updated, but I really miss the bookmarks sidebar, and I wish the new annotation sidebar was integrated with the browser sidebars
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13311579, 7 years agoNo longer functions.
I should have made sure autoupdate was turned off (btw - for all supposed security conscious developers out there this is why we turn off autoupdate - it ALWAYS breaks things) I digress.
Latest update has the nice clean looking pop up window. Enter data, strange, my keywords aren't coming up, manually enter, click save... and nothing happens.
Check my diigo page, nope not saved.
One of the few stable addons is now borked :/ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6506576, 7 years agoAfter all these years of using Diigo, this is just awful.
I tried downgrading, because I am now on FF 52 ESR, went back to Diigo 3.XX, same crap, nothing actually works.
I simply want to bookmark a link. How many people need this new functionality? It's noise!!!!
You are a bookmarking service, period, this is not rocket science.
Why do this to your user base?
Oh, I understand, you know better, we are just nuisances so you have to lead us.
I also tried installing the Diigolet, can't, only gives me Step 1, nothing more, installation doesn't work, it's just a broken page.
All these companies are now run by a bunch of cowboy coder-bros who know everything, yet know nothing.
See Mozilla, re: Firefox, same crap. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13310376, 7 years agoClunky. Too much clutter. Context window shows itself way off of the current cursor position making adding a new bookmark far less convenient. Can't add a new bookmark via context menu when text is selected - fundamental change from previous versions, which can't be overridden in settings.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13310314, 7 years agoUpdate, seven years later: Not only has that problem not been fixed, now it doesn't work at all. This is very disappointing because it's so good when it works! But between that and the inability to export my bookmarks (despite how the site says it has that functionality), this isn't worth it anymore.
Other reviews have mentioned problems, but I'm most frustrated with the pop-up window. If I click away from it, whether to highlight other text or to scroll down, it disappears AND erases everything I'd already added to that annotation. The main description field has been reduced to a single line, making it difficult for me to see the description I've added. - Rated 1 out of 5by CliffShep, 7 years agoI don't like this new add-on for Firefox. Now I have to go through at least 4 steps before I can bookmark a page. I want the old toolbar back and what's up with the diigo capture? I can't get rid of it when watching videos or movies. It's annoying!!!
