Recently I had to organize a lot of bookmarks that managed to sneak their way onto my browser. Syncing your firefox on different systems might cause that..
Anyway i had a choice; either I go and manually delete thousands of bookmarks spread across different folders, or i create a tool for that. I chose the latter - to create a better Firefox bookmark manager:
It's very simple, and that's because it should complete a simple task. You choose your old bookmarks, (shift click to select range) and delete. Everything else is a bonus.
For now it's as simple as that. A place to clear you bookmarks. In the future I plan to complete it with:
- Drag and drop reordering
- Search functionality
- Export/import capabilities
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Bookmark editing
- Custom folder colors
- Multiple selection modes
Check out my github page, and give it a star
How does it work?
Bookmark api. Seriously that is the answer. I thought that I'm headed for a battle with firefox and a clever way was needed to interact with bookmarks. But it seams someone has thought about this issue.
How to install it?
For now, the extention is pending review on firefox market, once it has passed I'll publish a link to it here.
For now thou, you should follow the instructions on the github page.
