Yeah, I meant quotation marks, not exclamation marks, but still, I guess you get the idea… …Fast Fingered Mike

I found a way to fasten up duplicate removal!

NOTE: This will mess up any hierarchy you may have built with bookmarks in separate folders, but – hey, at least there are no duplicates left.

First, change the settings in its control-panel, in menu go
-> Tools -> BookmarksDD Options -> Tab "Options" : Miscellaneous = "Silently discard duplicate bookmark"

Next Tab "Duplicate" : Deselect "Ask confirmation before deleting duplicate bookmark."

Press OK

Next, in menu, go
-> Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks…
Write the letters "http" in the search box in the upper right corner (Without the exclamation "" marks)

Suddenly you have found all your bookmarks!

Click one time in the result list to select one of the bookmarks and then enter the key combination [CTRL] + [X] to cut them all out.

Now, select (click on) a folder to the right, preferably "Bookmarks Menu" then enter the key combination [CTRL] + [V] to paste them all back in.

What happens? Silently all the duplicates will be discarded and your are left with only unique bookmarks.

DO NOT FORGET – IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG – [CTRL]+[Z] REGRETS YOUR LAST MOVE!

Happy tidy Friday!

I downloaded and installed the latest version of the add-on. It listed what I assume are duplicates, suggests that there are about 1500 duplicates, and lists many urls, each with a number (between 2 and 26) before it, but selecting any of these does not yield any folders in the lower box. I'm using Firefox 3.6. Is there something you can suggest?
Thanks

Databases can provide you with a wealth of sources to examine, and some of them are even keyword searchable. ,

Bookmark Duplicate Decector / BookmarkDD is an useless tool.
It CANNOT remove duplicates ( automatically ).

I used this Addon until Firefox implemented its own duplicate detection. Unfortunately, it turns out Firefox's built-in thing doesn't work so well. Over the past year or so, I've somehow managed to accumulate 1350 duplicates. So I re-installed BookmarksDD, but even with this tool, it will take me a week to clean up the mess. I sure wish there was an option to just automatically delete all but one of each duplicate. Otherwise, and excellent tool.

Oh, I'm sorry! I commented here thinking it was the author's site. Please remove my previous comment.

Thank you for this great add-on.
I find it very useful, but it lacks some features that would make it just perfect.
When you have more than 100 duplicates (my case, for instance) it's pretty tedious to remove all of them one by one clicking on the duplicate, selecting what to remove and then pressing the remove button.
It would be much better if the plugin would show an icon on the right of each duplicate entry to remove it in one click. Doing this could remove the duplicate from the list and focus in the next duplicate, and removing the whole list would be easier and faster.
An option automatically remove duplicates would be great too. Some of us don't care where the duplicates are, so adding a one-button feature to remove all the duplicates leaving only one copy of the bookmark would be fine.

I hope you find these suggestions useful. Thanks again for the hard work in this excellent extension.

Hopefully soon. There are a lot of comments (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1553)from people asking the same question.

When I run the duplicate, it does not remove all
duplicates. Needs more fine tuning.
