show if a bookmark was added before (firefox extension) #529

It would be nice if the ff extension would indicate if an url was added before and maybe at what date. That happens to me once in a while and I was wondering how to see that.

It works for the normal bookmarklet, since that switches to "edit bookmark" when the url already exists in the users list.

actually, it is possible to determine if a link is already added by looking if the tags field is already filled, but I think I would prefer a more obvious indicator

The extension actually does have this capability, if the latest list of your bookmarks have been sync'd locally in your browser. You can go into the preferences of the Add-On and see a "sync" button, click that, then go to a site you know you've saved before, there should be a small "+" sign in the Bookie extension logo.

However, yes this isn't fully implemented in an automated way like it should be, but depending on your bookmarking habits, it could catch a lot of cases. We'd like to have this happen automatically eventually; its on the list.

I noticed I have a tendency to bookmark sites that I bookmarked 6-12 month ago, so thats quite a good solution for that.

you should make it more obvious though, I didn't notice this before
