- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13965714, 5 years agoHands-Down best bookmark cross-browser sync.
The ability to change sync frequency/authentication/locations is perfect!
If you use Nextcloud, it gets even better! - Rated 5 out of 5by Sascha, 5 years agoGreat Add-on. Connected it to my Nextcloud and had an instant backup of my bookmarks/Sync to other devices. Gives you great options in terms of how/where to save the bookmarks, sync by merging Server and Client or make one override the other. Has all the options you need to make a a customized setup. Thanks!
Install was super simple. Add to Browser, Fill in Server and Login, Create a Sync task and you are set.
Had no issuses, works as intended from the first second. - Rated 5 out of 5by 封尘印, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15165830, 5 years agoIt worked very well and the feature that you can sync Bookmark folders is pretty nice. However, since the upgrade to the newest Nextcloud/Bookmark version it has an error:
Nextcloud log: Call to undefined function gmp_init()
Edit: Now it works again, thanks for the help :)Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe latest version of the bookmarks app requires a few additional php extensions as dependencies: gmp, intl and mbstring - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15158864, 5 years agoThis add-on made a mess of my bookmarks. It did not respect my bookmark folders or order, and ignored the folder I told it to make on the server side.
Nice try, would have loved to use it, but it is useless as it is now.Developer response
posted 5 years agoI'm sorry for the trouble you had to go through. Possible reasons for why it may not have worked are, enabled Firefox sync, an outdated addon-version, an incompatible bookmarks app version among others. If you want you can drop me a mail and I can help you make it work. :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15105122, 5 years agoWebdavs work, but nextcloud keeps saying "E019: HTTP status 500. Failed GET request. Check your server configuration and log." It is my own nextcloud install- with bookmarks 1.0.6

posted 5 years agoIf you want, you can contact me via mail, to sort this out. Have you checked the nextcloud log? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15098752, 5 years agoProbably the only addon that supports sync on selected folders (not all bookmarks).
One feature i miss is support to force pull/push sync, sometimes i don't want to merge. - Rated 5 out of 5by Doncho Gunchev, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12595753, 6 years agoFunktionierte bei ersten Tests recht gut. Danke! Leider werden keine Tags synchronisiert. Die benötigt man für die Andriod App, da diese nun wieder keine Ordner kann. Ich werde sicher in 1...2 Jahren nochmal vorbei schauen. Danke!

Ich vermute stark, dass es sich lohnen wird in weniger als einem Jahr nochmal vorbeizuschauen. Es wird bereits an einer neuen version einer Android app gearbeitet... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14540174, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14052748, 6 years agoIt work's great, but it will be better (why it's only 4 star) if this app use oauth or the second factor (like u2f or otp), for the connexion, because i don't like the application password

- Rated 5 out of 5by Martin, 6 years agoFirst: works as it should without any restriction, very very good extension both for Firefox and my Nextcloud. Fifth star not assigned in fact that there's no Firefox add-on for Android version and so it is not usable for me for I don't have other devices to sync than my Android ones.
A minor proposal: A list view of the bookmarks like in Firefox itself would increase usability. The graphics for each bookmark are a bit large and if you have hundreds like me or maybe a thousand of them you're forced to scroll a lot or to use the search bar extensively.
Appendix: The list view is a comfortable advantage, thanks a lot.Developer response
posted 6 years agoRegarding your proposal: Nextcloud Bookmarks now features a list view :) - Rated 5 out of 5by ThumbOne, 6 years agoWhen Xmarks disappeared I was stuck for a while. But then I installed a NextCloudPi server at home which was pretty easy and has a load of benefits beside, and found floccus. It was was not working when I first tried it, but Marcel has been chipping away at it beautifully and as of version 3 it's well and truly slick and a satisfactory Xmarks replacement!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13934898, 6 years agoTranslated by DeepL. Sorry about the possible nonsense:
It works fine, but why can't it be used with Firefox Sync active? FF Sync is essential for many people who use tab synchronization, password synchronization, history, sessions, plug-ins... I don't want to give up all that just to be able to synchronize my bookmarks, especially when I can also synchronize them with FF Sync, I just prefer to have them in my private cloud.
Please correct that important flaw, because it's a shame we can't have the best of both worlds.

> but why can't it be used with Firefox Sync active?
This reason is nothing that can easily be worked around, I'm afraid: Firefox sync changes bookmark IDs when it syncs bookmarks. Floccus needs those to be persistent, however, to detect the correct changes in the bookmarks tree. I know that this is not ideal. If you are willing to give up some features of Firefox Sync, however, there are other extensions that work quite well with self-hosted servers like nextcloud as well to sync e.g. passswords.
In any case: Thanks for you feedback!

This add-on does what it's advertised to do, very easy to setup and uncomplicated.
