posted 8 years agoEdit: In bookmark-dupes-5.5, there will be a special replacement text $TITLE which can be used to find “dupes” with the same title. The github page contains already more detailed instructions and a test version.
With bookmark-dupes-5.4, if you are looking for dupes with a _particular_ title (and not for duplicate titles in general), you can create a “modify” rule which checks for this title and replaces the whole URL by a fixed string. You need to fill the following fields for this rule:
“Name matches”: “\0NAME$” (without quotes; NAME is the name you are looking for; write \ in front of every non-letter).
“Replace URL matches”: “.+” (without quotes; this matches the whole URL)
“By” “x” (here, x can be any nonempty dummy text; in bookmark-dupes-5.5, x can even be empty (which was currently not supported due to misguided “safety” considerations)).
Instead of “Name matches” you can also use an URL match for the part which all bookmarks you want to "match" have in common. Or you can simply replace in your example the page number by an empty string, leaving the (common) rest of the URL as it is.
The latter is IMHO the solution which should be preferred, because it is is least likely to give wrong positives, but you need a rule especially adapted for your URL.

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

- Developer responseposted 4 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 SusilaGuy, 5 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
