- Rated 1 out of 5by a3overgaauw, 7 years agoThis add-on does not properly deinstall. It changes the names of your bookmarks forever.
And after deinstallation it continues to give folder path, domain name and url path when you execute a search.
P.S.
The developer questions my observation about the bookmarks.
I give an example: https://twitter.com/twitter was named in my bookmarks: Twitter. After installation and deinstallation of Filter AwesomeBar it is now named: Twitter ::: ::: dtwitter dcom ::: ptwitterundefined.
Another example: http://www.nytimes.com/ was named in my bookmarks: New York Times. After installation/deinstallation is is now named: New York Times ::: fbookmarksmenu f.media fonlinenz ::: dwww dnytimes dcom ::: undefined. Notice that my folder structure is represented in the new bookmark name.
I use Windows 10 and the newest Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit). I have tested the add-on in two profiles, to be sure. I have several thousand bookmarks and they are all renamed. Luckily I make frequently back-ups, or I would be very sad.
Maybe I do not fully understand what the developer means with "If you install it and then toggle the Browser action, it will revert your bookmarks to the old values." But I am pretty sure I do not get my old bookmarks back. And also, the search action is permanently changed, as described above.
I feel sorry for the developer. I have no reason to doubt his good intensions.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI cannot find out when the extension gets unsinstalled. No API yet. If you install it and then toggle the Browser action, it will revert your bookmarks to the old values.
