Freezes

Working with FF 57.0.2. (64 Bit)

Searching for broken or unavailable links:

The AddOn found many broken links very fast. But the process stopped 1 link before the end and stays there endless. Process doesn't finish.

Searching for duplicate links:

The AddOn doesn't show any duplicate links, but starts to delete links without my confirmation. A look into the FF bookmark backups showed me, that there where really nearly 100 bookmarks deleted.
So I closed the tab of the AddOn hoping this will stop the process. In this moment FF crashed. After starting FF again, ALL my bookmarks were lost.


I hope you understand my rating. I deleted the AddOn for now.
It's a pitty because FF seems not to able to created an integrated bookmark organizer. So i still hope you get this AddOn work bug free.
My best wishes for that project.

Hi,

I have 1558 BMs and your 'broken bookmarks' did not not complete the scan. So I tried 'missing bookmarks names', which found 4, but the list was most un-useful.

I would hope that clicking on the entry shown in your report would take me to the link in question to determine what to do.

Sorry, but for now, I have removed the add-on.

seems OK but it didn't find my "unsorted bookmarks" which number in the thousands. I'm going to remove it and try it again in acouple of months.

I'm a tab girl, so I can bop back and forth between screens and not lose the page I was just on. This works exactly like I want to have everything right in front of me! THANK YOU! **NOTE** This review is for "Open Link with New Tab" add-on...my mistake!

Das alles kann ich doch mit der integrieten Lesezeichen-Verwaltung ebenso gut erreichen...
Warum muss die ganze Geschichte eigentlich in englischer Sprache laufen - ohne Möglichkeit auf z.B. Deutsch umstellen zu können.

Ich habe das Addon gleich wieder gelöscht...

I get so many false positives that it becomes really annoying. And there's nothing I can do. I double check the site, the link is correct, it isn't a redirect but comes back as broken. It will be nice to be able to whitelist these mistakes made by the checker. It stalls at the last link from time to time which is also a problem. (Firefox 57, about 540 bookmarks) I originally gave this three stars a while back but it still does a terrible job. About 35% of bookmarks come back as errors. Even after replacing so-called redirects with suggested alternatives it comes back as an error. It's much easier and better to save bookmarks as an html file and check with standalone link checker. I use Xenu. Thee errors went from 177 out of 540 to 11, which were true redirects I wanted to keep.

I run FF 57.0.3 x64 under Win7 Pro x64. Finding empty folders and duplicated bookmarks works OK. Finding broken bookmarks appears to work until it hangs right at the end (363 total bookmarks, 360 scanned). It is still responsive, but it never finishes the scan. This add-on would fill a real need if it worked properly, but as it is I can't use it, so I've disabled it and will wait for improvements. I have other add-ons that deal nicely with empty folders and duplicated bookmarks.

Nice extension. One feature that would make it better, in my view, is a way to bulk delete duplicate bookmarks. Nonetheless, thanks for making it available.

THIS EXTENSION WORKS FINE!....

I read a lot of complaints here about slowness or freezing, but decided to try it anyway.

I opened it up via the toolbar button and started the process of checking "broken bookmarks."

The extension found 11,348 bookmarks (total) and checked them - at a pace of about 1,000 per minute.

Then, when the field "Checking Bookmark Number" reached bookmark # 11,290, it seemed to stop counting up (freeze?), but the activity throbber was still moving.

Unsure, I went into developer tools and checked the activity, and saw that the page was not frozen and the extension's script was still working.

FYI: I use 2 PCs on my desk, so I turned my attention to my other PC and did some things on that one. About 10 minutes later, I turned back to the PC with this extension running and lo and behold, the "Checking Bookmark Number" counter had ticked up to bookmark # 11,292.

Realizing it was just gonna take some time for the "problem child" bookmarks to be checked, I let it go overnight.

This morning, I found the extension had completed it's job and I was able to delete duplicates, remove broken links and edit others, all right within the results window (tab).

The process of editing is a bit slow (one at a time), but I'm sure the developer will attend to that in good time.

All-in-all, well done. Thanks to the developer, we now have a bookmark checker for 57+ and we'd not had one for years!

Great job, developer!

It helped me to clean up my bookmarks and reduce their number by one third.

Does anyone at Mozilla really WORK with Firefox bookmarks and use more than 10.000 bookmarks ?
How do you find the folder of a result URL after searching ?
How do you jump to the folder of a result URL after searching ?
Now that Go Parent Folder and Show Parent Folder (alice0775) are omitted, for power users Firefox is almost as useless as Chrome.
Concerning the ancient bookmark user interface, why should anyone use Firefox instead of Chrome ?
Sorry for being off topic, should not explain colors to the blind.

I uninstalled this in 2017 because it didn't work as expected. Following the developer's suggestion I've tried it again today and it appears to be fixed. It's found over a thousand errors and two-hundred and thirty broken links, and it's fixed them all in a flash. I'm happy to change my review to five stars for an excellent add-on.

Me acaba de hacer un trabajo titánico, he limpiado y corregido alrededor de 500 marcadores. Genial, muchas gracias! :D

Not work, nice design but not delete the links . Sorry!

The duplicate option freezes and doesn't work well

I apologize for 2 stars I thought I gave it a 5 star rating. Thank you for your hard work.

just didn't do anything for me but sit and spin. :-( firefox 57, 900 bookmarks.

Simple and straighforward. Glad that it has the ability to delete the duplicate bookmarks right there within the add-on itself. The broken bookmark feature sometimes churns and churns and doesn't seem to finish, but that could be something on my end. Nice add-on.

Really nice addon. Works perfectly with the latest firefox. The only problem I think it has is that when searching the wrong bookmarks, sometimes it takes a while if there are a lot of mistakes of the bookmarks, and the screen doesn't show any results while it's working in progress. I think it would be better to display the list of found mistakes while it's still working. And adding a pause function would save those who don't want to wait. But anyway a good addon!
