Is there anyway to merge/remove bookmark tag that has same name, but different case?
Like example PHP and php, they result the same, but it has 2 case saved on my bookmark manager, It's annoying, and I want it to be fixed if possible.
Thank you for any help/pointer!

Re: Remove/Merge duplicate bookmark tag that has different c
In Bookmarks Manager, can't you just highlight the dup'd entry & hit the DEL key?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Are you using Sync to sync the bookmarks?

I can't, it come back again, sadly. (but on 2nd try, it just gone... without being merged... f...)therube wrote:In Bookmarks Manager, can't you just highlight the dup'd entry & hit the DEL key?
WHAT. I LOST ALL MY TAG. AAAAAA:/
What a mess... I lost everything... Is there really no way to restore it? With this I need to re tag all my bookmark... man... :/
I think based on this, DELETING ISN'T and SHOULDN'T RECOMENDED

Yes I use sync, is that the main issue?

There is a bookmarkbackups folder in the profile folder.
About bookmarkbackups folder
http://support.mozilla.org/questions/1005048
Regarding the bookmark tag issue, I would export bookmarks to a .html file, then globally change the case of all tags using a text editor like Vim, then remove all bookmarks in the app, then import bookmarks using the .html file.

Note that you can use "Organize -> Undo" to undo changes in the current session.
If you have closed and restart Firefox then this undo stack is lost.
You normally remove a tag by selecting this Tag folder in the left panel.
If you delete bookmarks in the right panel with this tag you should rem,move this tag.
Do both versions of the duplicate Tag show the same bookmarks list?
I do not know whether Tags are case sensitive (I would expect not, but I might be wrong).

Will it include the tag? I need the tag :/ Last time I remember, it only save folder, not tags.
I don't know the undo, but it's gone, I manually 1 by 1 tag it... it takes hour :/ at least I don't lost the bookmarkdickvl wrote:Note that you can use "Organize -> Undo" to undo changes in the current session.

The duplicate tag only show once, and it's case sensitive, and it's annoying... only the query that isn't https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1421654
I think because the query, it cause problem on the bookmark manager, and the bookmark pop up... argh...

The exported bookmarks.html file uses the TAGS attribute.
Changing case with regular expressions

Vim example:<DT><A HREF="http://www.mozillazine.org/" TAGS="Cowabunga"></A>
Code: Select all
