I feel stupid that I can't figure this out... How do I run Auto-Sort?

Thanks

Once you've installed the add-on, there will be an icon added to the toolbar (3 yellow boxes and a blue arrow). Click on the icon to show a menu: Settings, Configure Folders, Sort. Select "Settings" to determine how you wish to sort and enable "Auto Sort" if you want sorting to happen when you make changes. Select "Configure Folders" if you want to exclude certain folders from sorting. Select "Sort" if you want to manually sort.

Thanks Eric, for what it's worth, I just came back to FF after about 5 years on Chrome cuz FF had slowed to a crawl. After I'd been on Chrome for 3-4 years, it started to slow down a lot and was a memory hog. Last straw was when they made a stupid change to their Bookmarks manager. Everyone hates it. That and Quantum made me come back to FF. But your add-on isn't the first I had to really study to figure out how to run. And I spent over 20 years in IT, I've been building my own systems for ages, the last 5 or 6. So this was quite humbling that I wasn't able to figure it out.

I appreciate your personal response.

P.S. I've been really anxious to use your Auto Sort, can't wait.
