    Hi Steven, this used to be working great until a few days ago. Right clicking the toolbar shortcut in Firefox no longer brings me your menu or allows me to go to the app's special options. I have no way of picking favorite lists. Clicking the button gives me an error message 90% of the time now. Reinstalling the app or clearing data doesn't help. Thanks for any insight. Edit: Thanks for the help. I don't know if I wasn't seeing it before, but those options are all back but in a different place. (Random bookmark options are in a help dropdown and lists are at the top)

    Hi David, that's not good, were you by chance on a linux ubuntu version of firefox? I was running into an issue where it couldn't complete the initialization code i had because of something that only affected that.

    Please try updating to 2.2.6 the latest version and trying that if you haven't already.

    If it's not that, could you please email me directly at [stevenaleong at outlook dot com] as I can't reply more than once on here in these reviews or if you happen to have a github account, please create an issue on there.

    This add-on has some real potential for me, and may be just what I've been looking for. I just have a problem/question (or two).

    Can I select a specific folder to choose from when I left click the Add-On icon from the toolbar?

    I've gone into the Random Bookmark Settings, selected and saved a folder to choose from. Yet still, when I click on the Random Bookmark icon, the add-on seems to choose a bookmark from ALL of my bookmarks, instead of the folder I have chosen. Is this how it's intended to work?

    It does limit it's choice when I right-click the folder, only choosing bookmarks from that folder, but when I click on the icon for the add-on, it chooses a bookmark from all of my bookmarks.

    PS: Do you know of a way to launch the add-on from Windows desktop? It would be really sweet to have a shortcut on my desktop that would activate this add-on.

    Hrmmm I haven't run into any problems myself with it still choosing from all folders. I say just try saving the settings again and see if that works. It is supposed to only pick from your selected folders. If you have NO selected folders, it loads up all your bookmarks.

    I do plan on rebuilding it eventually though to optimize it better. This was my first addon i've built.

    I'll also have to look into launching an addon from the desktop, i've never tried that myself. Sorry.
