![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Firefox users can use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-B to open the bookmarks manager.Xmarks users should backup their bookmarks on the local system right now to avoid any bookmark syncing issues caused by the browser extension. ![]() It is unclear if and when a new version will be released that will address these issues. The WebExtensions version of Xmarks seems to be the root cause of the issues that users are reporting. The developers have not responded to user inquiries, and the last blog post dates back to 2014. Extension prompts for login data frequently.Ĭoincidentally, the Chrome extension received several one star ratings as well recently, but not nearly as much as the Firefox version received.Some features like history syncing, shortcuts were removed.Separates are not synced anymore, and some users report that bookmark duplicates are created during sync. Sync does not complete all the time, and some users report that the process deleted some or even all of their bookmarks. Ratings for the browser extension tanked significantly in the past couple of weeks though on AMO the average rating is three out of five stars, and the first couple of pages of user reviews give the extension a one star rating (the lowest rating possible). The extension was released as a WebExtensions version in October 2017, and is compatible with Firefox 57 and newer because of that. While LastPass has been busy porting the Firefox add-on of the password manager to the WebExtensions standard, Xmark development continued as well. Development of Xmarks continued, and new versions were released regularly by the new owner of the service. The company was acquired by LastPass, makers of the popular password management service, in 2010. It filled a gap at that time by allowing Firefox users to sync bookmarks between different devices. Xmarks ( formerly known as Foxmarks) was released as a Firefox add-on back when Firefox did not support its own data synchronization service. ![]()
