Importing bookmarks from Bookmarks Toolbar #63

Closed pm64 closed 3 years ago

pm64 commented 3 years ago

I attempted to import bookmarks from Bookmarks Toolbar, but received the error "Not found a folder called Bookmarks Toolbar. Check that the name is correct. The size of letters is important."

I seem to recall a limitation of the Firefox add-on API in which access was restricted to certain bookmark folders, though I just tried researching this and came up empty. Am I experiencing the effect of such a limitation?

I think this is a Firefox bug. The root folder names are generated using PlacesUtils.bookmarks.getLocalizedTitle

Searching bookmarks by name only uses the titles used in the database places.sqlite https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/bookmarks/search

Title Database
Bookmarks Toolbar toolbar
Bookmarks Menu menu
Other Bookmarks unfiled

Try using "toolbar", everything should work.

Thank you @WaldiPL, these names worked.

The problem has been fixed in version 2.1.0.
