I absolutely love this add-on! :) Easy to use, easy to manage, and works perfectly.

But... there is one small thing I have come across lately, which I do not know how to solve.
Perhaps there is something in the settings I have missed.

Currently I have quite a lot of bookmarks, around 56k. And every time I add one more while I am browsing online content, then I assume it is a background process that kicks in, which loads/syncs all bookmark information with this add-on data. And that immediately halts all browsing in FF as no other tabs, that are being opened at that exact time (it usually takes roughly one minute or bit more to complete), respond and loading hourglass is being shown till the moment add-on sync process ends.
If there is or would be an option to disable instant bookmark sync as soon as new bookmark is added, that would be great.

Hi Steven, this used to be working great until a few days ago. Right clicking the toolbar shortcut in Firefox no longer brings me your menu or allows me to go to the app's special options. I have no way of picking favorite lists. Clicking the button gives me an error message 90% of the time now. Reinstalling the app or clearing data doesn't help. Thanks for any insight. Edit: Thanks for the help. I don't know if I wasn't seeing it before, but those options are all back but in a different place. (Random bookmark options are in a help dropdown and lists are at the top)

Lets you choose specific folders to randomly choose from (so that way it's not just all bookmarks). It's working great so far, thanks so much for making this! My toddler likes to watch random cool music videos on my lap and this is a great way to do it.

The add-on does what it should do, but somehow it appears that the addon has direct influence on the Windows Explorer in Windows 10, causing it to crash and restart on a regular, when changing from an active window of the explorer into a Firefox window. After deactivating the add-on, this issue doesn't seem to occur anymore.

Edit: All in all I have prolly several thousand bookmars. But I used the Addon only for a subfolder that contains about 600 bookmarks. Yes I found that weird too, that it affects the explorer. I wasn't so sure either if this is really caused by the addon, but it appears that way. Since I deactivated the addon, my Explorer doesn't crash anymore.

Doesn't seem to work on Firefox v93.0
Click the icon and nothing happens at all/

It does everything I need when I want some random bookmarks to be opened.

This add-on works great! Is there a way to have it choose a random bookmark as the homepage? I'd like to see a different bookmark every time I start Firefox.

Since some weeks it does not work anymore on a "normal" Firefox on Windows (I use the latest ff version 76.0.1). When I click on the random bookmark icon a popup opens, saying "Loading Your Bookmarks - Sorry, wait a moment until your bookmarks are preloaded". This message does not go away, even after deactivating and activating the plugin.

Update: With the newest version available (i have 2.0.9 installed), the plugin works again. Thank you for the fix!

could you please update it for it can use on android firefox ;_ ; i really want use it on phone firefox... but it doesn't work on mobile. i anytime appreciate your work thx reading ;)

This add-on has some real potential for me, and may be just what I've been looking for. I just have a problem/question (or two).

Can I select a specific folder to choose from when I left click the Add-On icon from the toolbar?

I've gone into the Random Bookmark Settings, selected and saved a folder to choose from. Yet still, when I click on the Random Bookmark icon, the add-on seems to choose a bookmark from ALL of my bookmarks, instead of the folder I have chosen. Is this how it's intended to work?

It does limit it's choice when I right-click the folder, only choosing bookmarks from that folder, but when I click on the icon for the add-on, it chooses a bookmark from all of my bookmarks.

PS: Do you know of a way to launch the add-on from Windows desktop? It would be really sweet to have a shortcut on my desktop that would activate this add-on.

Very good tool.
Thanks.

Good add-on. Can you add a feature that allows the user to right-click on a particular directory (from the Bookmarks Toolbar) and then select "Open random bookmark from selected directory" -- then a random bookmark from the selected directory is opened in a new tab. This was previously a feature in this now-antiquated add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/random-bookmark/

Update: Thank you very much for updating the app. Can you add an additional feature that allows the user to right-click on a particular directory and open multiple bookmarks from that directory simultaneously? "Open 5 random bookmarks from this directory."

~~It doesn't seem to work if you open a new tab. It will keep opening the new page in the old tab.~~

UPDATE: As the author explains in a reply you can change this behaviour in the settings.

I think the default settings are a bit weird. Of the three options it seems like the least intuitive setting.

Not works on Firefox 61.0 for Android. Bookmarks list is empty.

Can't thank the dev enough for this addon. Got all the features & options I need.
