2024-12-15 Janis 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.
2024-12-05 David Pillath 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)

2022-10-10 Firefox user 14078353 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.

2022-04-15 ConQ 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.

2021-09-27 Implausible Feloniousness It does everything I need when I want some random bookmarks to be opened.
2021-06-14 Firefox user 15550166 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.
