by Firefox user 14159843, 7 years agoSince the release of Quantum, and whether standard or via Speed dials, this is so far the best way to display bookmarks. Speed dials in Quantum are a joke, and the bookmarking features native to FF have not changed in forever. This extension can produce beautiful and useful results.
It is not without bugs however. For example, using the "modify this bookmark property" submenu can result in unintended and often serious issues. So far, I have had it change every bookmark in a folder to match the changes of the SINGLE bookmark I was working on. Removing a bookmark can result in the removed bookmark being duplicated several times within the folder. Bookmarks rarely, but occasionally, just disappear after being edited within the webextension, and so on. The issues with using the Bookmarks Home menu and submenus is bad enough that I no longer use it, and use the built in FF editor. On the other hand, once you figure out the foibles, the results are brilliant.
Backup your bookmarks regularly using the FF built in backup, and manually copy your custom CSS scripts from the editor and save them somewhere.
Finally, there is no way to now use the extension as a New Tab page.

- Rated 4 out of 5by GDlux, 2 years agoFor those wanting a no-nonsense homepage with a tabular set of links, this is the best extension I've found and stuck with.
One change I'd make: always show the drop-down search box and options icon. No reason to hide them by default. - Rated 5 out of 5by GhostlyGalleon, 2 years agoFantastic add-on. Wonderful to be able to export my bookmarks as a nicer-looking html page than the "internet circa 1995" default Firefox look.
- Love the fully customisable CSS and the fact that it's saved within the html file, so my bookmarks page looks good in any browser.
- The ability to drag & reposition folders on the finished page is handy.
- Being able to select which folders to export as well means 5/5 from me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Hollytryx, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by aubbieed, 3 years agoI love this extension, but I would like to be able to have a second menu (screen) - multiple occurrences, so I swap from one screen to another.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14558352, 4 years agoVery nice, but why is there no option to put subfolders inside folders and not separately? :(

- Rated 5 out of 5by DiverSant, 4 years agoAmazing, you can move all the bookmarks, as well as individual folders and subfolders, as in other browsers, and send to a friend. Thank you!
