[Ext] Bookmarks menu v.1.12

[LL25255252]

The author of SortPlaces had a feud with Mozilla developers and pulled all his add ons from the Mozilla Add On site but you can still find the last working xpi.
Here - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Internet-U ... aces.shtml - is says that it is for MAC but I have Windows 7 and it works also.

2 to 4 of my add-ons are in forced compatibility mode (their install.rdf > maxVersion has been edited).
So if this error of Bookmark Menu only happens to me, it may be caused by these forced compatibility,
and I suppose you can ignore it.

This is a huge list.
Anyway, I added the following:
"extensions unrelated to bookmarks but big ones : NoScript 2.6.6.1, Tab Mix Plus 0.4.1.0
extensions related to bookmarks : Old Add Bookmark Behavior 3.1, OpenBook 2.0.1.1, SortPlaces 1.9.2, Undo Bookmarks Menu 1.7"
except OpenBook that wasn't compatible with Firefox 21 and had not any problem updating my bookmarks (either location or name). The changes were applied immediately to my add-on.

See my screen capture:

Can you make the bookmarks windows wider (when there are bookmarks with long titles) or maybe give an option to the user to set it through about:config ?
As of now it is too narrow for me - I like to set long titles to some of my bookmarks.

TIA.

only issue i have with it is that it doesn't store the favicons - it seems to cache them for a short time, but then they are reloaded again if you wait a bit and re-open the menu

this causes a minor annoyance, mainly because some favicons are not displayed at all for sites where you have to log in, until you log in

kind of strange since the native bookmark menu always displays them

[hatdi]

@LL25255252 I'll increase title length at next update
@fire.Man Will check on it and try to reproduce.

Hi hatdi,

great plugin, always liked it. Thanks a lot for writing it.
Unfortunately it is not compatible to Firefox Quantum. Are there plans to adjust it to the new plugin API? Or is the source code available somewhere (e.g. on github) so I can try it myself?

Kind Regards,
Lars

Hello,

thanks for your kind words.
I started rewriting this, but was faced with some problems and the whole thing frozed.
You gave me the idea of github and I'm willing to post it there.
(will post the link here)
