by jvandervleut, 8 years agoLost most of my bookmarks... and DAMN I didn't back up first...*(&*%#
#edit dec 4th 2017: I could get a backup and almost have all my (duplicate) bookmarks back.
@Martin: I didn't press an unfortunate button combination. What I did was start the add on, select 'keep first, remove duplicate'and then pressed GO. I have almost 5000 bookmarks in total (dupes included), so the progression bar went by every 20%, until 100% was reached. It then took quite some minutes for Firefox to get up and running, only with just a fraction of the bookmarks that it supposed to have (should have been nearby 2500 left, which it didn't). So there's something with the amount of bookmarks that the add-on is limited to process....

posted 8 years agoEdit:
There was an edit of the comment indicating that there is perhaps really a bug in bookmark-dupes (although so far, I was not able to produce the described problem in any testing and had no other such report.)
Since I had switched off localization of bookmarkdupes' webpage (due to various problems) it seems that all related edits of this discussion got lost.
For reasons like this, this is not a good medium for communication about a bug.
Therefore, I opened https://github.com/vaeth/bookmarkdupes/issues/22 (but if you prefer we can also discuss instead by email).
Translations are always welcome, of course. (Preferably by a pull request on github, but if you are not familiar with git, drop me a note and we will find another way.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Spencer Reid, 2 months agoFinally, an optimized way to (almost) fully sort all the bookmarks at once! Thank you so much for this add-on! 🌟
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13409154, 2 months agoI've been on Firefox since soon after it came out; somehow, over the years, I've inadvertently added duplicate, not just of single bookmarks, but of entire bookmark backups. Your addon is what I have needed for years. It cleared out several hundred duplicates. Many thanks! John

- Rated 5 out of 5by SergDom, 3 months agoВеликолепное расширение! Я перебрал десятка два отдельных приложений (все, какие нашел) и расширений (проверил ещё не все) - и лучшего по функциональности нет. Здесь сочетается удобство, мощь, гибкость настроек, наглядность результатов и компактность кода. Было собрано около 35000 закладок из разных браузеров, ~22000 дублирующих закладок было удалено этим расширением предельно аккуратно в течение получаса!
В случае остальных приложений за это время удавалось либо вручную удалить из неудобного списка пару сотен ссылок с риском ошибиться, либо... дождаться окончания загрузки закладок в приложение.
В прочих проверенных расширениях для Firefox либо результаты поиска представлены несистематизированной свалкой, либо вовсе отсутствуют.
Так что искренне рекомендую Bookmark Dupes от Martin Väth! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18894841, 4 months agoIt's slow down so much it makes frozen the app. It's waited for10 minutes without any response. It's just about 18000 -24000 bookmarks to process, certainly from several bookmarks from different times.
Interesting fact is the same addon from the same author works perfectly!!! ..in chrome based browsers(time to response fast to not:chrome,brave,vivaldi).Developer response
posted 4 months agoAs already written to quite some comments, the normal deletion speed is several thousands bookmarks per second. A considerable slower speed is almost certainly due to a bad configuration, e.g. another extension which plugs into the bookmark API and takes time for every bookmark deletion. You might want to retry with a plain firefox configuration (after saving and restoring only your bookmarks). BTW, the code for the chrome and firefox extension of Bookmark Dupes is practically identical as you can see on github. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dendetta, 4 months ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18701784, 6 months agoAn sich eine Spitzen-Erweiterung. Allerdings nach ca. 8 Stunden nur 274 von 89911 duplizierten Lesezeichen entfernt. Alle sonstigen Erweiterungen extra vorher deaktiviert.

posted 6 months agoWie schon mehrmals geschrieben ist die normale Geschwindigkeit beim Löschen mehrere hundert/tausend Lesezeichen pro Sekunde - eigentlich nicht merkbar. Bis jetzt habe ich noch kein bei mir reproduzierbares Beispiel von deutlich langsamerem Verhalten gefunden. Wenn Du technisch genügend Erfahrung hast, kannst Du mal versuchen, die Lesezeichen als Datei zu exportieren und die alte Firefox-Konfiguration komplett zu löschen (d.h. die zugehörigen Dateien mal komplett verschieben) und dann im jungfräulichen Firefox nur diese Erweiterung und Lesezeichendatei zu benutzen um zu testen, ob es wirklich an der Erweiterung liegt (und auf diese Art zumindest eine Lesezeichendatei ohne Duplikate zu erhalten). - Rated 5 out of 5by anselmoarantes, 7 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19008459, 8 months agodoes exactly what expected, nice selection possibilities, works in seconds.
cleaned up mess after duplicate sync of several devices with 2000+ bookmarks and 150+ folders in a couple of minutes.
thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13456598, 8 months ago

posted 8 months agoThe normal deletion speed is some hundred bookmarks per seconds. If it is considerably slower then very likely the cause is some bad configuration. An example might be another bookmark related addon is installed which slows down the process.- Rated 5 out of 5by Michael, 9 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by SusilaGuy, 9 months agoFantastic! Just what I needed. Reduced my 13,000+ bookmarks to about 3500 and afterward, I was able to delete over 700 empty folders.
I loved that I could choose to retain the most current of each group of duplicates. Thank you. <3
