A change in Firefox 117 caused the Bookmarks Organizer to stop working correctly for users with many bookmarks. A workaround has been implemented to make the add-on compatible with Firefox 117 (Thanks, rpl!).

Enhancements

- added dark mode support
- confirmation dialogs can now be confirmed with the Enter key. Aborting with the Esc key was already possible.
- added facebook.com to the internal skip list because Facebook prevents checking of its website

Bugfixes

- fixed a massive memory increase and high CPU usage that could even lead to a Firefox crash when importing many bookmarks

Code Quality

- removed the deprecated browser_style manifest key
- optimized image files to save a few bytes
- make use of CSS variables for colors
- use inset property in CSS
- don't use background shorthand in CSS

Notable Changes

- bumped the minimum required Firefox version to Firefox 115

Translations

- updated Chinese translation (Thanks, Eee14!)
- updated Turkish translation (Thanks, r0tbra1n!)

Build

- updated web-ext from version 7.5.0 to 7.6.2

- Due to a behaviour change in Manifest v3, checking for broken bookmarks in Bookmarks Organizer 4.0 no longer worked for sites that are not available through https://. This issue was fixed.
- Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation (Thanks, pmichelazzo!)
- Updated web-ext from version 7.4.0 to 7.5.0

Notable Changes

- Bookmarks Organizer now uses Manifest v3!
- Bookmarks Organizer now asks at runtime for permission to access all website data if permission is not granted. The permission is technically needed to check for broken bookmarks. Therefore, the permission is no longer needed for installation as well as not for using the other modes. Bookmarks Organizer also reacts to permission changes via the add-ons manager
- bumped the minimum required Firefox version to Firefox 109
- the loading animation no longer appears if the Bookmarks Organizer takes less than 500ms to be ready
- the button to check for broken bookmarks is now disabled if there are no bookmarks
- removed input.mozilla.org and testpilot.firefox.com from internal skip list because these domains are no longer part of extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
- removed the outline from input fields because we have our own focus design
- changed copyright year from 2019 to 2023

Bugfixes

- If a bookmarks folder with more than one bookmark was removed the counter of the Bookmarks Organizer only decreased by one
- If a bookmark was added while a check for broken bookmarks was already in progress the check never finished

Code Quality

- replaced the translation mechanism with the newest version to share more code with other extensions and improve the maintainability
- removed code for Firefox below version 61
- replaced deprecated method call
- fixed some code style issues and typos
- removed -moz- vendor prefixes in CSS code where possible

Translations

- added Italian translation (Thanks, MichelePezza!)
- added Japanese translation (Thanks, dlwe!)
- added Brazilian Portuguese translation (Thanks, pmichelazzo!)
- added Turkish translation (Thanks, coffeemesh!)
- updated Swedish translation (Thanks, iwconfig!)

Build

- updated web-ext from version 2.9.3 to 7.4.0

Enhancements

- changed native confirmation dialogs to a custom implementation which looks better and does not have the checkbox to prevent further dialogs. Checking this checkbox caused problems because it was not in sync with Bookmarks Organizer's internal state. The new implementation will also be the foundation for future improvements
- enabling or disabling the confirmation dialogs now has an immediate effect. It is no longer necessary to run the check for broken bookmarks again after changing this option

Bugfixes

- fixed a bug that caused newly created bookmarks not to appear in the results list when rechecking for broken bookmarks without reloading the user interface

Translations

- updated various translations

Enhancements

- added whitelist feature to exclude bookmarks from future broken bookmark checks!
- added some Mozilla domains to the internal skip list because these domains cannot be checked for security reasons
- improved reliability of broken bookmark check
- Firefox 61+: The number of bookmarks is now updated immediately when a bookmark is added. This feature was disabled since version 1.0.4 due to a bug in Firefox which has been fixed in Firefox 61. In Firefox 60 this feature is still disabled.
- updated web-ext from version 2.4.0 to 2.9.3

Bugfixes

- the mass action buttons for repairing all redirects or removing all broken bookmarks were not shown under some circumstances
- some of the address bar commands were broken
- fixed error in browser console "Unknown localization message omnibox_command_check_organizer" when using the address bar commands

Translations

- added Chinese (traditional) translation (Thanks, zhtw2013!)

Minimum required Firefox version is Firefox 60 now.

Enhancements:

- Bookmarks Organizer no longer fails for some users to complete the check for broken bookmarks! A new mechanism has been implemented that terminates any request if it take too much time to get an answer from the server. That's why Firefox 59 or higher is required beginning with version 2.0.0
- a request throttling mechanism has been implemented to ensure that Firefox does not simultaneously execute too many requests at any time. With many bookmarks, this can extend the duration of the check for broken bookmarks, but on the other hand it ensures that fewer working bookmarks will be reported as broken
- the second bookmark check via another request method was not executed under certain circumstances, caused that some working bookmarks were reported as broken. This does not happen anymore
- the check for duplicates and the check for bookmarks without name no longer list bookmark separators
- bookmark separators are no longer added to the total number of bookmarks
- added a menu item to the tools menu to open the user interface
- changed keyboard shortcut to Shift + F11 to avoid a conflict with a built-in shortcut
- when deleting a bookmark, not only the total number of bookmarks will be reduced, but also the number of checked bookmarks, so that the number of checked bookmarks can never be larger than the total number of bookmarks
- the performance of several parts of the add-on has been lightly improved
- reduced file size of the logo
- updated web-ext from version 1.9.1 to 2.4.0

Bugfixes:

- the progress animation didn't stop after checking for duplicates, caused that it was also not possible to delete duplicate bookmarks
- setting for disabling confirmation prompts did not work for duplicates check
- filter checkboxes and search field were not resetted when checking for broken bookmarks a second time

Translations:

- added Spanish translation (Thanks, TarekJor!)
- added Swedish translation (Thanks, Sopor-!)
- added Russian translation (Thanks, perdolka!)
- added Ukrainian translation (Thanks, perdolka!)

Code Quality:

- refactored and simplified a few code pathes
- organized the script files in folders
