We spend a good number of hours glued to the screen of our computer, many of them making almost continuous use of the Internet browser. With this we talk about programs of the importance of Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox, among many others.
These are software solutions that sometimes serve as platforms that give us access to the entire universe of the Internet. As it could not be otherwise, these offer you everything you need to make the browsing experience as productive as possible as well as comfortable and safe as possible. In fact, the developers of these programs are fully aware of their importance at the moment, so that the updates that come to us, occur almost constantly. This is the case of the proposals that we have talked about before, where Chrome stands out with a great advantage, at least in terms of its market penetration.
But users have many other alternatives to opt for at the moment, as is the case that we are going to talk about in these lines. This is the proposal of Mozilla with its Firefox. This is a browser that from the beginning has wanted to be characterized by offering a plus of privacy for its users, contrary to what happens with other similar programs. However, it should be borne in mind that despite all the functions presented by these solutions, including Firefox , users always want a little more.
Hence precisely the success that popular extensions for these programs have garnered for some time now. These are small accessories that are installed in them and do nothing but increase their versatility.
The use of bookmarks increases our productivity in Firefox
To all this that we have commented, in these lines we want to add the extended use of another of the key elements here, we refer to the markers . Also known as favorites, this is where we store the websites we visit but wish to be able to study or see in the future. Therefore, these elements provide us with direct access to the websites that we are storing to enter them immediately in the future.
These are elements that, in one way or another, present us with practically all current Internet browsers . Therefore, they allow us to be more productive on a day-to-day basis with these programs that we discussed. But at the same time, as we mentioned before, they allow us to control and manage them in a more effective and personalized way. Although for this we are going to have to resort to certain third-party extensions like the ones that we are going to show you here.
In this way, those who work in a massive or constant way with the bookmarks of the Firefox browser , will be able to do it in the best way thanks to these plugins.
The best Firefox extensions for bookmark management
Bookmark Manager brings Chrome interface to Firefox
This is one of the proposals that we want to talk about in this case to improve work with the aforementioned bookmarks in Firefox. Specifically, what this does is bring to the Mozilla program the same experience of the bookmark manager that Google Chrome introduces us from the beginning . Therefore for those who have just migrated, or use Chrome, Firefox as an alternative, this will be very helpful.
In addition, the extension itself, to further facilitate its use, presents a keyboard shortcut to launch its functionality: Ctrl + Alt + B.
Private Bookmarks, protect all your bookmarks
Through this add-on that we are talking about now, we can enable a special folder of bookmarks protected by a personal password . In this way, all the bookmarks that we consider private will be encrypted with that password so that no one else can see them. In addition, all this is stored locally, not in the cloud, for greater privacy.
Therefore, when accessing these elements from Firefox, we will see a new folder of private bookmarks in the Other bookmarks section. At the same time we can add and remove elements in it once we have unlocked it. Of course, by default you can only access private bookmarks when you are browsing in private mode, something that we can change.
Default Bookmark Folder, to change the location of bookmarks
This addition allows us to choose the folder of the location of the bookmarks by default and change the browser settings. This will allow us to be more effective when working with these elements. In addition we will have the possibility to add new favorites quickly through a dedicated icon that is created when installing this. Additionally we will have the possibility to select where the new bookmarks will be added.
Bookmark, manage them more efficiently
We continue with an alternative of this type, but somewhat simpler than those mentioned above. This is because Bookmark is focused on allowing us to better manage the use of these elements in Firefox. So we can click on the extension to save the state of the current tab, save several positions for a single URL or see and open all the saved tabs.
iCloud Bookmarks, synchronize the PC with Apple products
Through this alternative that we now propose, we can keep the Mozilla program markers synchronized with the Safari markers. This also refers to all kinds of Apple devices such as the iPhone , iPad or Mac. So if you are users of both platforms normally, this will be very helpful. Thus, iCloud Bookmarks stores personal bookmarks so that they are available on all our computers, Mac, PC or mobile devices from Apple’s signature.
Bookmarks Organizer, better organize bookmarks
As its own name lets us glimpse, in this case we find a complement whose main task is to allow us to organize our markers. In this way we will have the possibility to put these elements in order easily. In parallel, it allows us to locate those that no longer work, duplicates or those that do not have names.
In turn, the extension finds the damaged markers and we can create a white list that excludes those that should be ignored in this analysis.
Bookmark Dupes, remove those that are repeated
Once we have installed this small program in the browser , its use is quite simple. This focuses on that we can mark those elements of this type of that are duplicates, or empty folders to manage those that are useless. In addition, all the operations here are carried out from the icon that is created.
404 Bookmarks, delete useless bookmarks
As a general rule we keep a good number of these elements in the browser, but some are obsolete. Therefore, with this extension we can find the bookmarks that are already expired and are useless to easily remove them. Locate all kinds of useless bookmarks , such as those that return the page not found error or other navigation errors.
Clean bookmarks, get rid of the ones that are no longer worth
In this case we will talk about a proposal that is responsible for locating and removing duplicate markers . It also allows batch work, which saves us a good amount of time. At the same time, the extension is in charge of finding and eliminating empty folders or merging those that have the same name within the same path.
Bookmarks Manager and Viewer, find and delete bookmarks easily
This is a plugin that provides us with a panel view in the browser to manage and modify bookmarks in the easiest way. This interface has a search function to help us easily find content of this type that interests us. We can also perform editing tasks on them or drag a marker to a new position directly.
