Foxmarks v2.6.0 Released

We just pushed a new version of Foxmarks to the Mozilla Add-ons website. v2.6.0 is a maintenance release and contains several bug fixes including: better support for users behind proxies, a working flow for resolving conflicts, and safeguards to prevent interoperability issues between Foxmarks and other add-ons (view the complete release notes).

  5. And it still deletes the icons in my toolbar, and it still adds unclosable tabs.

    WIN98, FF 2.0.0.18, TabMixPlus.

    Still unusable for me.

  7. Doesnt work for me. I just don't see anything related to foxmarks. no synch, no icon in the bottom of the browser, nothing in the add-ons dialog box (in firefox). I was having my bookmarks as usual.

    Then I tried reinstalling firefox and foxmarks. Now I do not have any of my bookmarks. I just don't get foxmarks installed. I tried installing. But after restarting FF, It starts as usual. nothing new..

  9. I'm still unable to sync at all in Windows. The last sync date is labelled as 14th October! I've tried version 2.5.3 and now 2.6, same result. Until this I was very happy with Foxmarks, now I'm having to manually backup bookmarks externally. Is there any way to troubleshoot this?

  10. This update(2.60) messed up my toolbar...will go back to 2.5.3 until bugs are corrected.

  11. I am also getting an unknown sync error since installing 2.6.0. The current status just says:
    Problem Syncing
    Synchronization error
    An unknown synchronization error has occurred.

  12. Those like marcolou who are seeing their toolbars messed up when trying to install/update Foxmarks, this is what happened to me with 2.5.3 and 2.6, too. Also, the first run Foxmarks page did not come as it should.

    What I did was restart the browser, again, until the Foxmarks first run page came up. (It took me an additional restart after first updating Foxmarks for the first run page to come up.)

    After that, I did have to reset and then redo my toolbar customizations, but that was 10-15 seconds.

    After that, everything has been AOK with Foxmarks and my browser.

    It is a pain, but, at least the work-around is not very painful.

    P.S. I am not with Foxmarks. I'm just a user.

  13. Thanks for the great software.


    I have just one complain: Please stop to notify when there is an update available. Firefox already do this in another disturbing way.

    I use Firefox in several computers, and when there is an update these pop-ups annoy me.

    ReplyDelete

  14. I, too, want to thank you guys for making this great extension. But I have the same complaint as Rômulo Fernandes: Please, please, please offer an option to disable the update notification. Firefox's own update check will find the new version on its own. No need for an additional window I have to dismiss. Please? :)

  15. V2.6 has mucked up my bookmarks toolbar. None of them are shown on the toolbar even though they are still in the Bookmarks list.

    ReplyDelete

  16. Managed to get my bookmarks back again by going into customise and dragging "Bookmark Toolbar Items" back onto the toolbar.

    ReplyDelete

  17. I'm just wondering: since I've installed the update, I've been having an issue with Firefox where it begins to hog system resources and eventually crashes. I do not use many extensions (adblock, web developer, and FlashGot) and Foxmarks is the most recent update. Is this an issue that sounds familiar to anyone? It may have nothing to do with foxmarks...

    ReplyDelete

  18. Foxmarks is great, but after updating to 2.6 on my various PCs, all of which made my toolbars icons to disappear, not just the Bookmarks, but also others, e.g. Web Developer, All-In-One Siderbar. the bug seems more server than previous where I could fixed by resetting them. please fix...

    ReplyDelete

  19. Foxmarks *still* doesn't allow you to change it's silly conflicting keyboard shortcuts.
    Annoying.

  20. Those you experiencing problems with your toolbar customizations, please see my post above for a workaround.

    ReplyDelete

  21. thanks WildcatRay. my problem is no matter how many restart I do, the toolbars icons just didn't come back. when went into customised, none of the icons are there! I am using 3.0.4 portable version. it happens to all my installs and profiles. doesn't work even downgraded to 2.5.3, the icons are gone! I have no work around but to use 2.5.3 instead.

  22. How about adding a feature that allows you to sync other plugins such as No Script and what not?

    P.S. Foxmarks is my favorite plugin after Ad Blocker.

  23. Please give us the safari foxmarks NOW! I work on different machines and it would be great to use safari on my macbook pro with foxmarks!!

    ReplyDelete

  24. Please add FF 3 tags to your synchronizing options. Thanks for your hard work.

  25. I cannot run the Setup Wizard...I just stays in the "Welcome to the Foxmarks Setup Wizard" forever. It may be that a conflict was introduced between the old (Firefox 2) and new (Firefox 3) versions. I am using Foxmarks 2.6.0

    When I click "Tools > Foxmarks > Foxmarks Settings", I first get the Settings interface. *It indicates it is trying to sync with the word "Synchronizing..."*, and there is no way to stop it...maybe this is preventing the Setup Wizard from running! If I click the "Setup Wizard" button, like I said, after I get through the screens where I say I already have an account and login, I get the confirmation, but after that, the Setup Wizard just has that dotted-circle timer on the left and nothing else happens, not even afte a long time, like 15 minutes.

    I cannot get Setup Wizard past this point no matter how many times I try.

    Also, the Settings dialog has no "Stop" button to stop the syncrhronization that it indicates with the word "Syncronizing..." I can only cancel out of the dialog altogether, but this dialog is the only way to get to the Setup Wizard!

    I have also tried restarting Firefox, and cookies for Foxmarks.com are accepted.

  27. More trouble than it's worth!!!

    ReplyDelete

  28. könnte mir die lösug auf deutsch erklähren ?

    ReplyDelete

  29. I LOVE THIS PLUGIN!!! It should already come in default firefox configuration. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  31. Passwords synchronization is pretty good, but how about to make a history synchronization also?

    ReplyDelete

  32. I find Fox marks absolutely invaluable to my work. I only wish that you would make a version for the I-Phone. Right now the I-Phone only looks to pull BM from IE and that is a shame cause all my BM are on Fire Fox.

  33. 2.6.0 worked great, but I just upgraded to Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 and it no longer works. When will a new version be released which is compatable with Firefox 3.1 Beta 2. Thanks

    ReplyDelete

  34. Would be great if it works with FireFox 3.1 Beta 2!

    ReplyDelete

  35. Just thought I should mention that the Synchronization problem fixed itself in a couple days...maybe there was an update, but I can't remember...I think it's just some bizarre bug that worked itself out somehow.

    ReplyDelete

  36. I installed it after the most recent nightly of the 3.1 beta 2 and it is working fine for me, I have tabmixplus, noscript, adblockplus, cutemenus, ctl-tab as far as add-ons are concerned.

    ReplyDelete

  37. I appreciate all the work. I love Foxmarks.

    Is there support for Firefox 3b in the works? I'm really loving Firefox 3b and use it for everything now and I really miss Foxmarks!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Sorry to say that installing this seems to have wiped out a couple years of bookmarks. I can try to restore them from a backup.

    ReplyDelete
