Hello again, guy.

Well, we thought we had two methods for import/export of Shortcuts, and when support for one (while Firefox was running) was removed by Mozilla, we thought we still had the other one (while Firefox was not running).  That was until you reported the trouble and I tried it.  It turns out the second method was broken in a recent Firefox revision.  However, that one was repairable, and so 10 minutes ago we published the fix in BookMacster 2.3.1.

I still don't fully understand how your Shortcuts stopped working, because it seems like, although Shortcuts were not being exported from BookMacster 2.3 to Firefox, the Shortcuts which were already in Firefox should still be there.  But it's complicated.  At your convenience, please do this:

• Upgrade to BookMacster 2.3.1 from the Beta channel, as explained here.
• Open your .bkmslf document.
• Look at the shortcuts in some of your bookmarks.  You can see them by either (1) switching the third column heading in the Content view to Shortcut or (2) examine a bookmark in the Inspector.
• Quit Firefox if it is running.
• In BookMacster click in menu: File > Export to Firefox.
• See if these shortcuts work in Firefox.

You might want to check and see if those Shortcuts are in Firefox, before and/or after the export.  What we call Shortcuts are called Keywords in Firefox.  To see one,

• Click in Firefox' menu: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.  A Library window will appear.
• In that Library, navigate to and select a bookmark expected to have a Keyword.
• At the bottom of the window, under the Tags field, click the little square "v" button.  Surprise, several more fields appear, including Keyword.

We had been working on fixing Firefox so that the other method (while Firefox is running) will be restored too, but that requires submitting code patches to Mozilla and getting them accepted.  We plan to get back on that effort next week.

Thanks for the clarification Jerry. Re Safari it must have been the cache rather than a shortcut. I do find this bad news since shortcuts made my life a lot easier and work quicker. Is this a permanent change or is this really to work with a Mozilla policy (that may later alter)? You say "while Firefox is running" - but quitting the browser before an export doesn't appear to change things.

Anyway, can you or anyone on the forum suggest a way of organising bookmarks which works as well and as quickly? I suspect I've got quite a bit of re-organizing ahead of me.

Hi. For some reason my the shortcuts (entered via Bookmacster) for sites I use a lot have ceased to work. I'm on macOS 10.12.4, latest firefox (but safari is also a problem) and BookMacster 2.3.

Any suggestions as to cause or solution?
