# Firefox Add-on: Bookmarks Organizer (WebExtension)



Logo



## Support the development



**Please consider making [a donation](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/agenedia/) to support the further development of

Bookmarks Organizer. Thank you very much!**



## Description



With the Bookmarks Organizer, it's easy to put order in your bookmarks. The Bookmarks Organizer finds no longer working

bookmarks, redirects, duplicates and more!



**Bookmarks Organizer is a WebExtension and compatible with Firefox Browser 60 and higher (Firefox Browser 115 or

higher is required for the latest version of Bookmarks Organizer).**



### Features



- Finds no longer working bookmarks

- Finds duplicate bookmarks

- Finds bookmarks without name

- Broken bookmarks can be edited or deleted

- Detects redirects and offers the automatic correction of individual or all redirects

- Whitelist feature to exclude bookmarks from future broken bookmark checks

- Internal skip list for domains that are known as not validatable for technical reasons

- Light and dark user interface, depending on your Firefox preference



### Shortcuts



The interface can also be accessed via the keyboard. For this purpose the combination **Shift + F11** is reserved. Or

you can open the interface via a menu entry in the tools menu.



It is also possible to start individual tests directly via the address bar:



- **bookmarks organizer**: opens the interface

- **bookmarks duplicates**: search for duplicates

- **bookmarks empty-names**: search for bookmarks without name

- **bookmarks errors**: search for broken bookmarks

- **bookmarks redirects**: search for redirects



### Planned features



You can find the roadmap and request new features in the

[issues tracker](https://github.com/cadeyrn/bookmarks-organizer/issues).

### Note



- If you edit the URL of a bookmark or if you let Bookmarks Organizer fix a redirect Firefox will “lose” the tags

  associated with the bookmark because bookmark tags are bound to the URL and not to the bookmark. The tags are not

  really lost, they are still associated with the old URL. This is neither a bug of Bookmarks Organizer nor of Firefox,

  it's how Firefox works. Please see [Bugzilla #1440988](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1440988#c2) for

  context.



### Permissions



Bookmarks Organizer needs several permissions to work properly. To give you full transparency this overview also lists

“silent“ permissions.



#### mandatory permissions



Bookmarks Organizer does not work without the following permissions:



##### read and modify bookmarks



You installed Bookmarks Organizer for checking and modifying broken bookmarks so it should be clear why the permission

is needed to read and modify the bookmarks.



##### access browser tabs



The permission to access the browser tabs is needed so that Bookmarks Organizer can jump to the already opened settings

page if the settings page is already opened in another tab and you click the button to open Bookmarks Organizer's

settings.



#### optional permissions



##### access your data for all sites



The add-on checks the bookmarks by sending a request to the appropriate URLs. This cannot work without the permission

to access these sites. Bookmarks Organizer asks at runtime for this permission if you want to execute this check.



#### silent permissions



Bookmarks Organizer needs some more permissions, but Firefox does not prompt for the following permissions:



##### menus

_(since 2.0.0)_



The menus permission is needed for providing an menu entry in the tools menu to access Bookmarks Organizer's user

interface.



##### storage



The storage permission is needed so that Bookmarks Organizer can store settings and exceptions.
