Delicious Bookmarks for Firefox 3: Signed, Sealed, and Delivered

Note: The comments on the blog have not gone unnoticed, we’ve been working hard on fixes and have just released a new version that should have most if not all of the issues addressed. Please restart Firefox to receive the update automatically. Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

For those who do not want the full feature set of this extension, but want a more streamlined version, please try Classic Mode. Simply go to Tools.. Delicious Options.. Advanced Tab and click the “Classic Mode” button.

A little over a month ago, we announced our beta for Firefox 3 and encouraged you to try it out. After hundreds of thousands of downloads, you gave us some great feedback on how we could make it better and more stable. We’ve incorporated many fixes and refinements into the final release, and we’ve got a plan to release more features on a regular basis. Thanks again to everyone who participated in our beta; we really couldn’t have gotten here without you.

For a complete list of new features, check out our blog post announcing the beta; it covers all the basics.

For those of you who haven’t used our Firefox extension, it’s a great way to search and manage your bookmarks as well as keep track of your Delicious network and links for you. And if you’re still using Firefox 2, the new extension works perfectly with that browser as well. If you already use our existing extension, you’ll get a reminder to upgrade when you start Firefox. If you’re new to the extension, check it out on Mozilla’s add-on page.

    I’ve got a few problems with the extension.

    First, I don’t like how there’s a mandatory Delicious menu in the menu bar. i Never use that and only tag pages from the right click menu and would like to disable it, but I can’t see a way to do that.

    Secondly, and less of an issue for me, is that in the Preferences for the extension, the button in the Advanced tab says “switch to classic mode”, even though I’m IN classic mode.

    I just want an extension that lets me tag things to delicious. nothing more, nothing less.

    Hi Travis,
    On OS X and FF 3, the option to hide the bookmarks menu has been temporarily removed. There is a bug in Firefox 3 which will not be fixed until after they release that caues this feature to crash.

  • paulote  |  Jun 11 2008 at 8:31 am

    the version 2.0.58 has an annoying but… it keeps the url for every-damn-tab, i have 2 or more tabs from different urls, but it shows only one url no matter what tab i click (all tabs has different urls as i mentioned), i have to press ESC every time i want to see the current url in the current tab damnit…. fix it asap!

    thanks.

  • Paul Irish  |  Jun 11 2008 at 9:00 am

    Note the lack of a designer on the team. :/

    Nick, one major flaw is how unscalable the posting UI gets when your network expands. My large network (see: network/paul.irish) means my “network tags” area takes up a HUGE amount of screen real estate.. pushing the Popular Tags (which i primarily use) to the bottom. And I rarely even use network tags..
    I’d love too see some user experience improvements here.

    Though if you’d like to hear more, I can certainly can offer them. :)

  • rookie  |  Jun 11 2008 at 11:23 am

    i’m too experiencing the problem that paulote mentioned. Kindly fix it. I am returning to the previous release version till a newer version is released.

    Thanks.

  • Derek R  |  Jun 11 2008 at 11:25 am

    New icons are terrible!

    Dark gray? Who’s the designer who came up with that one? Who’s the designer who thought some blue square makes me recognize my delicious button?

    Terrible.

  • Chris  |  Jun 11 2008 at 11:32 am

    I don’t see any quick-click icon for the drop-down search menu of Delicious bookmarks (the content of the Delicious sidebar). When I click on the icon I just go to my Delicious web page. Am I missing something? I love the drop-down menu!

  • Chris  |  Jun 11 2008 at 11:34 am

    Sorry about my previous post… I see it now! You can remove these comments if you like.

    Thanks for a great, incredibly-useful extension!

  • bunnyhero  |  Jun 11 2008 at 12:40 pm

    i’m having the same problem as paulote and rookie :(

    alas i don’t have an earlier version i can install.

    i tried disabling all of my other extensions but it still happens. on the other hand, installing it on a brand new profile does not exhibit the issue. is there anything else i can do to troubleshoot this issue?

  • DNapalm  |  Jun 11 2008 at 1:02 pm

    I like that you can disable the status bar icons, but it seems to leave a separator in it even if they have all been removed. A “disable all” feature that will make sure the status bar is completely cleared would be nice. The empty space and separator are kind of distracting.

  • Jerry  |  Jun 11 2008 at 1:50 pm

    The keyboard commands you just added to the latest update of the toolbar killed some of the most important standard shortcuts of the Web Developer toolbar. Please let us turn that feature off. The toolbar has never done this before, I have a huge problem with this change now.

  • jav  |  Jun 11 2008 at 10:24 pm

    Please remove the unnecessary verification popup by the delicious plugin when clearing your private data in firefox. It is highly annoying, as it’s not only an unnecessary forced click (I don’t need this — but if it’ll stay, give me a settings option for it, that it’ll use), but it places the firefox dialogs into the taskbar, where you have to look for them after the plugin gets in your way.

  • Jason  |  Jun 12 2008 at 4:51 am

    On MacOS X 10.4, FF3 RC3: The normal bookmark dialog shows the last entry, which is empty on the first try to bookmark something.

    This was OK before the update to the new version of the Add On.

    I now have to call the bookmark function twice. Bookmark, cancel, bookmark. Just to set a bookmark for the current page.

  • JF  |  Jun 13 2008 at 12:13 am

    The latest update has broken the ‘Subscribe To’ functionality in Firefox 3 RC 3 (Mac). When I have the Delicious add-in enabled, nothing happens when I click on the feed icon in the address bar and there is nothing in the ‘Subscribe To This Page’ menu. Once I disable the Delicious add-in both of these start to work again.

  • Florian Purucker  |  Jun 13 2008 at 2:07 am

    Thanks for the great extension! The new features are really awesome.
    There is one problem, though. I have cookies disabled and only allowed for single websites. I added .icio.us to that list for the old extension, but the new one complains at every start that I need to activate cookies, although cookies are allowed for delicious (but not for other websites). Is is possible to suppress that warning somehow?

  • sinm  |  Jun 13 2008 at 5:26 am

    same problem… refresh, back and forward not working with latest version, url blank or wrong all the time

  • paulote  |  Jun 13 2008 at 5:32 am

    for those having the url bug, uninstall the addon, restart firefox, install the addon, restart firefox… it seems normal now…

  • Adam McCrea  |  Jun 13 2008 at 6:14 am

    It appears you’ve changed the keyboard shortcut to save a new bookmark. That’s cool, since it used to pop open Firefox help instead. But now it’s stolen the keyboard shortcut for the Firebug console (only relevant to developers, I know).

    Any way this could be customized?

After hundreds of thousands of downloads and copious user feedback, it’s live and kicking (and better and more stable, thankyouverymuch). It’s a great way to search and manage your bookmarks and keep tabs on your Del.icio.us network. More features are coming down the pike. Still using Firefox 2? It works just fine there, too.

  • Aladiah  |  Jun 13 2008 at 10:28 am

    Where can I find the old version?
    Every time I want to save a bookmark del.icio.us always asks me to log in, even though I’m already logged in. I also try deleting my del.icio.us cookies and logging in again.

  • Niobe  |  Jun 13 2008 at 12:44 pm

    I’m using a cookie blocker that allows certain sites to set cookies among which delicious. However the plugin forces me to allow cookies globally which it has no business of doing since I already have the cookies for it set. It gets pretty annoying having to click the dialog every time I start up FF.

  • cowgod  |  Jun 13 2008 at 3:06 pm

    i totally agree with others about the new icon for tags and bundles on the toolbar. the dark gray looks terrible. please bring back the previous version which was very nice.

  • suzuki  |  Jun 13 2008 at 7:15 pm

    Yeah, I haven’t had a chance to try out all the functionality, (I hope it’s not too much more *enhanced* than the previous version): I’ve disabled the status bar icons and would like to get rid of the Delicious menu. (I’m still using Firefox 2, so what’s the excuse? :)

    The annoyance that will have me dropping this extension very soon is the “Cookies required” warning. I use CS Lite to permit specific domains (like “*.icio.us’), but I “Block Globally” and I’m not going to change that for any site I use regularly.

    Any update on the issue of keyboard shortcuts that clash with those of Web Developer Toolbar?
    I’d really love to be able turn them off, because like this, I had to deactivate the del.ici.us toolbar as I absolutely need the shortcuts of Web Developer Toolbar.
    Would it be very hard to make the keyboard shortcuts configurable or at least give us the choice to turn them off?

    What are all these useless comments with […] surrounding them? Block these spammers.

  • Josh  |  Jun 16 2008 at 11:19 am

    @Jason They’re pings/trackbacks (see Wikipedia).

  • Raj  |  Jun 16 2008 at 4:58 pm

    Hi,

    I’m on Firefox 2.0.0.14, and had updated the Delicious Bookmarks add-on to 2.0.58. However, I found that there is interferance between it and Tab Mix Plus 0.3.6.

    In FF, Ctrl+PgUp (and Ctrl+PgDn) “cycles” through the tabs right-to-left (left-to-right when using PgDn).

    However, when both TMP and DB add-ons are enabled, Ctrl+PgXX “cycles” through the tabs but skips every alternate tab. (ie: using Ctrl+PgDn, it goes from TAB1 to TAB3 to TAB5…).

    I tried enabling/disabling various add-ons and found that the combination of Tab Mix Plus and Delicious Bookmarks was causing this issue. And this issue only started last week when I updated DB to 2.0.58.

    Has anyone else encountered this prob?
    Is there a solution? (other than upgrading to FF3 :))

    thanks
    Raj

  • Jason  |  Jun 16 2008 at 9:19 pm

    @Josh: Then the trackbacks should be listed somewhere else other than in the comments. They clutter the comments and make them difficult to read, and they are generally useless for anyone other than the blog authors.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jun 16 2008 at 10:25 pm

    Jason & Josh: Thanks for pointing out the problems with the trackbacks being inline like that. I’ll see what I can do to improve the template.

    To everybody else: We’re listening to all this good feedback about the add-on, and the latest news is posted to the mailing list/Yahoo! Group: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delicious-firefox-extension/

  • JohnnyK  |  Jun 17 2008 at 12:53 am

    Now, I haven’t used the toolbar in quite some time, but I wanted to install it today. However:

    Snyching bookmarks on first startup? Why is this performed without even asking me? Not that I have anything in my bookmarks I can’t share, but I still can’t believe you would do this without even asking the user.
    Not to mention that my browser (still using FF 2.0.0.14) became unuseable during that operation.

    Toolbar uninstalled again. And until you remove this “feature”, I won’t install it anymore.

    I also had that bug mentioned by paulote. The recommended solution (uninstall, reinstall) worked for a while, until I discovered that the toolbar buttons which I have removed earlier now reappeared. So I removed them again, and *BANG*, the location bar stopped working properly again!

    Conclusion: you need to have the TAG button on your toolbar if you want the location bar to be updated properly.

    Hand, I tried what you mentioned but it didn’t work!

    For those having the same problem, I suggest you to downgrade:

  • Ted Pavlic  |  Jun 17 2008 at 6:28 am

    I use the Vimperator plugin with FF3. I notice that FF quicksearches (”shortcuts”) work through my address bar, but not through Vimperator. Vimperator only looks at the local bookmarks.

    That’s too bad. I wish the del.icio.us plugin was transparent enough that other plugins (like Vimperator) would integrate well with it.

  • Blaise Alleyne  |  Jun 17 2008 at 8:31 am

    *sigh*

    Non-free extensions for a free browser? No thanks, if I wanted to run proprietary software to browse the web I’d be using IE.

    Also, if this were released under a free software / open source license, I’m sure many of these complaints would be fixable or fixed already.

  • Marc  |  Jun 17 2008 at 11:37 am

    Yeah…my gripe is the mandatory menu bar across the top of the browser. Not cool

  • Stephanie  |  Jun 17 2008 at 12:44 pm

    I don’t mind *having* a menu, but I’d like it not to be where my Bookmarks menu was. Either let me can the menu (which I never use) or move it to the right.

  • Brux  |  Jun 17 2008 at 12:48 pm

    I’d have to agree with Marc. Mandatory menu bar is taking up valuable real estate, not to mention work doesn’t need to see all my random bookmarks… It’s the same reason I uninstalled the Google menubar.

  • neil  |  Jun 17 2008 at 1:34 pm

    For many of the reasons mentioned here I’d love to see the return of the “old style” delicious extension which simply had the two buttons and nothing else - or at least the options to scale back this plugin so it works like that.

    New features are all well and good in theory, but sometiimes they just feel way too intrusive. Simplicity rocks.

  • bigfuz  |  Jun 17 2008 at 1:54 pm

    I don’t know about anyone else, but is the option to hide the original firefox bookmark menu a pretty strange move? I love being able to search my delicious bookmarks, but the vast majority of my browsing is from the bookmarks menu.

  • JavaJunky  |  Jun 17 2008 at 2:25 pm

    I love the add-on but the fact that it kills my shortcuts (especially with Web Developer), is forcing me to uninstall it.

    Yes, it’s a Mac. OS 10.5.3. After logging in nothing happens, the “Continue” button stays gray. No step3. Only cancel (& deinstall) or go back … and fail again.

    Any ideas?

    I have downloaded and installed Firefox 3 on both Windows and the Mac. The Mac version tells me that the del.icio.us add-on I was using is not compatible and has been disabled. I was using the most recent “official” add-on.

    I have now uninstalled the extension from the Mac and have been trying to find a usable extension. So far, no luck.

    I’m using OS 10.5.3. Does this mean that there’s no extension available for the new version?

  • Eddie  |  Jun 17 2008 at 4:46 pm

    I have used delicious since the start.

    This addon is overly complex and complete overkill.

    I agree with the an earlier poster entirely.

    How about a lite version that does just that.

    Disappointed.

  • Melvin Ram  |  Jun 17 2008 at 6:21 pm

    How bout giving me the option to bookmark both my system n delicious automatically. I don’t want to tag things all the time. Just tag it as unfiled.

  • Jonathan  |  Jun 17 2008 at 6:47 pm

    I’m in agreement with some of the other posters. This is overkill. All I want is a simple extension like the one that works with Firefox 2.

    I also was disappointed that you make the user go through all of the login and setup etc, before you give them the option of “Classic mode.” You should be able to select that when first installing.

  • Benabik  |  Jun 17 2008 at 8:32 pm

    I’d like it if del.icio.us bookmarks would be autocomplete options in the new smart location bar like normal Firefox bookmarks. As is, I have to pull up the sidebar to pull up a del.icio.us bookmark, which is a little clunky to do on a regular basis (especially since there’s no shortcut for it).

  • Lynn  |  Jun 17 2008 at 8:37 pm

    Will you please, please create an extension with support for multiple accounts? E.g. something similar to del.icio.us Complete.

    I have exactly the same problem. Seriously, I’m getting sick of having to click ‘disable cookies’ every single time my browser starts. The delicious toolbar has the cookie permissions it needs (which I can tell because the toolbar works just fine even with global cookies disabled). Is it really such a big thing to update the toolbar so that it doesn’t have to ask people to enable global cookies?

    Where is the link to this extention please

    Thank you

  • Fred  |  Jun 17 2008 at 11:51 pm

    I feel a wee rant coming on. Firefox 3 is out, hurrah. It tells me there is no up to date version of the del.icio.us plugin. Boo. So I go to del.icio.us and find a prominent link on the front page saying “firefox extension”. Hurrah. So I click it and go to a page whose title is delicious-bookmarks-for-firefox-3-signed-sealed-and-delivered.html. Hurrah. Can you believe it, that page does not have a link to the plugin!!!!! I trawl the page up and down and there is no hint on the page where to get the thing. Again, a page with that title has no link to get the plugin.

    The best I can do is follow a link that asks if I am new to the plugin. I am not. It goes to Mozilla, who already told me it was broken. But there it is. Hurrah. I try to install it and it is broken, giving a message about an incorrect hash. repeat. fail. repeat. fail. rant. Boo.

  • Lister  |  Jun 18 2008 at 12:22 am

    What BS is this? Install FF3 and my most used bookmark is broken. AND there’s no link on this crummy page. Am not a happy bunny!!

  • Sebastian  |  Jun 18 2008 at 12:30 am

    Hi,
    finding the Link at the blogpost not working, even the search at addons.mozilla.org delivers a wrong link, I tried and found a working link to the hopefully actual version 2.0.5.8. Perhaps the structure of the mozilla site changed and this has to be taken into account?

    Well, well: link following - direct link to the .xpi

  • aljuk  |  Jun 18 2008 at 12:36 am

    According to FF, this extension (wherever it is) doesn’t work. This is amateur hour, I expected beter. And frankly, reading all the complaints of poor feature implementation I’m feeling somewhat disappointed in advance…

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jun 18 2008 at 12:48 am

    The link to the add-on in the post is the correct one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615 . The incorrect hash message sounds weird, and we’ll check out what’s happening.

    Also, the simple bookmarklet buttons are a trusty old alternative for people who are getting frustrated with this one (especially until we get a chance to work out the existing issues): http://del.icio.us/help/buttons

  • aljuk  |  Jun 18 2008 at 12:54 am

    Ok, I’m going to eat humble pie and take back some of my previous comment. I eventually found a download of this on the FF site and so far it seems to be pretty cool. It adds a toolbar (easy to switch off, like any other toolbar) and doesn’t appear to interfere with my FF bookmarks at all (as others have claimed).

    Please upgrade your only “Delicious Buttons” extension (the “classic” version of the plugin) to support FF3. I can’t stand the new bloated version of the Delicious plugin and only use the old school version. I know I can hack the plugin to be usable in FF3, but I’d rather you guys do an official release so I know it works. Thanks a bunch!

This thing is so slow and bloated, please yahoo do not force me to switch to something else. Oh, and these new icons are ugly.

  • dom  |  Jun 18 2008 at 10:01 am

    I’m with neil and a few others : I just want the classic 2-buttons extension. This is overkill, I’m starting to consider just using bookmarlets.
    -1 for the uploading of bookmarks : what was in bookmarks was meant only for one computer and not for sharing
    -1 for not being able to get rid of the menu item
    -1 for the buttons at the bottom of the screen.

  • James Mowery  |  Jun 18 2008 at 11:23 am

    I wanted to inquire as to the reason why the Delicious Preview has not gone live yet? I have been using it for quite awhile, and I enjoy it a lot better than the previous version.

    Will you please release an extension for the preview version or make the preview version complete already?

    That, or at least update us on the status of the Delicious Preview. I wrote about it several months ago and am still waiting. Actually been considering a switch to Ma.gnolia because the wait is frustrating.

    Any feedback would be great. Please email me at jmowery–AT–gmail–DOT–com

  • ditto  |  Jun 18 2008 at 11:53 am

    I’d liked to see the old two button extension. “Classic mode” isn’t classic enough with the unwanted “Delicious” menu taking up space.

  • Genio Latenio  |  Jun 18 2008 at 1:02 pm

    Since the latest del.icio.us update, I’ve had some problems with Firefox: basically what happens is that sometimes, randomly, the url bar stops displaying the url and the back and forward buttons don’t work, too (they remain gray). The favicon of the various websites changes, but the url itself remains completely empty.
    I can still navigate (I can enter a url or visit bookmarked sites) but the url doesn’t respond to my actions (as in: I enter “www.google.com” and from that point on the url “www.google.com” remains in the url bar although I change site).

    The reason why I suppose it’s a del.icio.us problem is that I had this problem with my work computer and not on my home computer, because this last one wasn’t updated until today and today this problem appeared here is well.

  • Janos Vig  |  Jun 18 2008 at 4:35 pm

    Sorry Guys but this bug is unbeliveble and really annoying… thousands of users will unistall delicious addon…

  • David  |  Jun 18 2008 at 4:46 pm

    Ug, the firefox page won’t load so I can’t get my add-on from you guys. Everytime I click the link or search and for and try to view your extension on mozilla’s site I just get this message:

    Missing argument: addon_id

    What?!?

  • Jonnan  |  Jun 18 2008 at 4:54 pm

    I just had a painful experience -
    New to Delicious, wanted to try it, installed your toolbar,

    It went to step 2, logging into the site, I logged in successfully - and nothing happened. Continue button stayed greyed out.

    Several attempts later, after checking various cookies, security settings to get it to work (made unduly harder by the fact that the extension wizard would not give up focus) I gave up and ran the uninstall option - whereupon firefox restarted without requesting permission.

    And now the extensions website does not work?!?!

    You can browse add-ons, but upon selecting *any* extension, I get an error “Missing argument: addon_id”, which then forwards back to the main Addons search page.

    I would typically find it a reach to connect from an addon to a website issue, except that before I installed, it was fine - afterwards, this. Clearing caches and cookie has no effect - I’m probably going to try moving everything over to a new profile. Nonetheless, however you measure it, this is a real problem for an extension.

    Jonnan

  • David  |  Jun 18 2008 at 5:09 pm

    Oh God! I finally got it to download, what the hell is this? Get rid of the extra bar on the bottom and the side bar! Who thought this was a good idea, someone just puked chaos all over my computer screen. I will turn this extension off and refuse to use delicious until I get an option to get rid of all this extra crap. I need two buttons, actually, I just want a tag button…

  • David  |  Jun 18 2008 at 5:19 pm

    Ok, I’m going to give some crystal clear feedback on everything that’s wrong with this extension:

    1) I don’t want to import my firefox bookmarks into my delicious account. There’s a reason why they’re separate.

    2) You don’t belong in the menu bar.

    3) You don’t belong three times in the navigation bar.

    4) You don’t need your own bookmarks bar.

    5) You don’t need a side bar panel.

    6) You don’t belong on the status bar, let alone three times.

    Basically, I was forced to upgrade to this because I now use FF3 and instead I’m forced to import my bookmarks and let you live in every conceivable crevice of my browser. Get out! This horrible behavior could even be rectified if I had the option of turning this exra crap off. But I don’t. So, I guess I’m going to use a different service from now on because you all really pissed me off.

  • Jonnan  |  Jun 18 2008 at 5:50 pm

    The uninstalled failed - removing the file “delicious.rdf” from my cache resolves the error, although I confess, I don’t really understand how it could cause the error in the first place.

    Nonetheless - that seems to be the cause.

    That said - I believe I will wait for a different system before I start using this system - this felt a little too much like installing Quicktime for my taste.

    With apologies - Jonnan

  • aanto  |  Jun 18 2008 at 6:13 pm

    Oh, my god! They just did wrong EVERYTHING that can be done wrong with that extension… I have no words…

    It seems like time to switch from oficial del.icio.us plugin to alternative plugin, or from del.icio.us service to alternative service has come.

    Why all “official” stuff always developing from good to bad, when unofficial / alternative / pirated stuff always do vice versa?

  • david.h  |  Jun 18 2008 at 7:06 pm

  • James Mowery  |  Jun 18 2008 at 10:45 pm

    I’ve also had to uninstall the Del.icio.us bar.

    It will not allow me to save bookmarks in folders (it always moves them to the bottom of the bookmarks).

    One time I couldn’t hit return on the URL entry.

    The bookmark manager also crashes a lot.

    Just completely unstable. I’d say pull it from Mozilla’s extension download site before you tick everyone off! I really mean that too. It is very annoying.

  • Micah Sittig  |  Jun 18 2008 at 10:56 pm

    Of course you shouldn’t install extensions from untrusted sources, but… I downloaded the old Del.icio.us Buttons extension and hacked the version requirement to work with Firefox 3. Use at your own risk (I am!):

    -Nick

  • DrInferno  |  Jun 19 2008 at 11:45 am

    There is a question, or problem bout the Del.icious toolbar I’d like to ask. Is there a way to manage the bookmarks, you know like list them in an order I want, besides the tag bundling? I’d like to list my bookmarks in an order of my choosing, and have them laid out (versus like in the bundle where you click on the bundle then the bookmark). I even tried clearin out my list and loadin them one at a time but even then it wasn’t showin as I want it to show. (also are you people at Del.icious gonna work on the icon in front of the bookmark? or are they supposed to b all stars?)

  • clara  |  Jun 19 2008 at 12:00 pm

    The new extension does not complete the list of all my links. Maybe is because I have more than 10000. It always stops syncing around 3000 or 4000 links. I re sync fully and same thing. Never gets to list all my links but less than half. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.14

  • patriot  |  Jun 19 2008 at 12:18 pm

    I have a biq problem with this new version of del.icio.us extension. since i get ff 3.0 , my links dose not sent to del.icio.us servers and my acount dose not updated!

  • sbtrct  |  Jun 19 2008 at 2:19 pm

    i am a long time delicious user, but i have had to uninstall this version. there’s simply too much delicious taking up space in my browser. as has been stated already, the additional menu items, icons in the status bar, bookmarks below bookmarks, and general “spammy” feel need to be resolved, imho.

    i can appreciate that a lot of work has obviously gone into this release, and i applaud you for having a ff3 compatible add-on. however, while the extended functionality may be ideal for some users at least the option to return to the “minimal” two button delicious should be given.

    i think the simplicity of the old tag/bookmark system has been lost, and that simplicity was the attraction. while the site has proved invaluable to me over the past three years (and one of the few web services i would consider paying for) i am now looking at alternatives. your ff3 extension is bloatware.

    add new features, sure. some peolpe will find them useful. but at least allow us to turn them off as we see fit.

  • Tak  |  Jun 19 2008 at 3:15 pm

    I completely agree with sbtrct –I had to uninstall the new version of Delicious and therefore have lost one of my most-used tools. Far too cumbersome, and the bookmarks slowed the loading of many pages to a crawl — at least on my XP system.

    Tthe simplicity of the old Delicious has been lost.

  • Leena  |  Jun 19 2008 at 4:20 pm

    I installed the new version on Delicious on my FF 3.0 and when I clicked on the Restart Firefox button, the browser shuts down and starts back, but it suddenly have 3 tabs open and hangs. I killed the process in task manager and tried again, same thing happens, it just stops responding.

    I had to open FF in safe mode (disabling add-ons) and uninstalled Delicious 2.0.58

  • Nick Nguyen  |  Jun 19 2008 at 5:41 pm

    Hi everyone,

    We integrated a “Classic Mode” in this extension but made the mistake of not making it easier to discover. This will be fixed in upcoming releases, but if you want the original functionality, simply go to Delicious Options in the Tools menu and select Classic Mode.

    Nick

  • dom  |  Jun 19 2008 at 6:37 pm

  • Matt  |  Jun 19 2008 at 8:16 pm

    Thanks for the classic mode, but I too find that the items I have tagged today since upgrading to FF3 and adding the extension are not added to my del.icio.us items. Moreover, the dialog popup I get for tagging an item does not autofill as was done previously, nor does it show suggested tags from my tags or popular tags. I am left trying to remember what my tags were. Please provide this functionality under the “first, do no harm” principle.

  • boo  |  Jun 19 2008 at 8:17 pm

    This is because I use public computer to access the Net. Actually, I can do this by log out. But what I need is that I need not to log out to auto erase my data. By just closing firefox, then it automatically erases all my bookmark data.

    Just got the latest version (2.0.64) and it still messes up my web developer keyboard shortcuts. Can’t find a way to deactivate them via about:config either. C’mon guys, you probably use these tools yourselves, how can this not bother you? Please let me turn off all keyboard shortcuts for delicious, or change them. Either way is fine, but don’t hard-code them into the extension, that’s just bad practice.

    I found 2 bugs:

    1. When switching to Classic mode in advanced settings there still exist button “Switch to classic mode”.

    2. In Classic mode blocks some keyboard shortcuts. For example, Ctrl-Shift-S, which is not used in Classic mode cannot be using by other extensions. Unfortunately, WebDeveloper addon uses this shortcut by default. Please add an option to configure/disable keyboard shortcuts.

    And yet another one: Want an option to remove Delicious menu from main menu. Why don’t delicious to use Tools submenu like most other good addons? I dont need this menu at all.

  • srangana  |  Jun 20 2008 at 3:25 am

    After installing the newest, latest Del.icio.us plug-in for OSX about 12 times (talk about banging ones head against the wall!), I figured out there is a missing step to getting it to work.

    After it installs and restarts Firefox 3, go into Tools -> Add-Ons menu, and ENABLE the plug-in. Then it works perfectly.

  • GG  |  Jun 20 2008 at 10:41 am

    I see some improvement in the latest release but I have still two big disappointments.

    1. The “Delicious” menu. Not sure what the use case that people will use it if the sidebar button is enabled. To me, the sidebar button needs less real estate in the menu area. To be honest, I hate the this menu item to be appear there and I would no use of it at all.

    2. Every time, I start the Firefox, a box pops up to inform me that I am signed out and I have couple of options to remove or keep my local copy of the delicious bookmark. It is really annoying. Why I need to be informed that I was signed out when I just start the Firefox. You have many other places (in the bottom of sidebar, clicking the tag button, etc.) telling me that information. Those are the right place. To have a popup everytime when I restart or start the firefox really pissed me off.

    These two additional features (or bugs from user perpsective) are really annoying and that drove me the first time looking for alternative. I am sure that was not your intension. So please fix it.

  • WavyDavey  |  Jun 20 2008 at 2:53 pm

    In Firefox 3, this plugin is causing my cpu usage to hover around 10% (specifically for the FF process) or more at all times, even when FF is inactive. As soon as I disable the extension, the cpu usage goes back down to normal, of below 1% when inactive.

    I am on a PowerBook G4

    10.4.11
    1.67 Ghz PPC G4
    1 GB DDR2 SDRAM

    This was not a problem when I was on FF 2 and I have not noticed it on my Windows install. I will check later and post if it is a problem.

    I’m another user who was much happier with the old two-button extension. Classic mode has its points but it still insists on changing all my tags to start with a lower case letter. Why?

    I know that my insistence on starting names with a capital letter may be old-fashioned but the new version makes me wince sufficiently to consider changing where I store my bookmarks. The old version of the extension was flexible enough to accept either upper or lower case tags, why remove that functionality?

    Just one thing…

    GLOSSY BUTTONS?????

    That is so lame!

    Please see this article from a widely known and respected graphic design artist and web trends blogger: http://www.webdesignerwall.com/trends/2008-design-trends/

    Glossy buttons are horrible. Please go back to the flat matt buttons. They were distinctively ‘del.icio.us’.

    How many people have to request that the warning about cookies be disabled before somebody fixes it?

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jun 21 2008 at 12:15 am

    A summary of some of the major issues raised so far: (1) This add-on is interfering with people’s shortcuts. (2) The glossy buttons are not universally adored. (3) The cookie warning is very annoying. (4) Classic mode is not easy enough to find. Thank you all for pointing these things out. They make sense, and we’re listening. See this post on the mailing list for a workaround for #1.

    Also, here are some more individual responses:

    IrishPrince: Thanks for the bug report under Firefox Portable; we’ll check that out.

    GG: If you want to switch to “classic mode” the Delicious menu will go away, and we’ll think about making the top-level menu optional under normal mode. But you shouldn’t be getting that pop-up box every time you start up Firefox — it should remember your login. Does this still happen after the latest update?

    WavyDavey: Luckily for you, I have a setup very similar to yours, and I also notice a difference between CPU usage when the add-on is enabled and disabled. We’ll see if we can figure out what’s happening.

    sally_maria: Lack of flexibility for capital letters would be a bug. Do you have the latest version installed (check for updates)? I just tried, and I can add tags with capital letters both in normal mode and in classic mode.

  • Stephen Dedalus  |  Jun 21 2008 at 1:36 am

    Could it be possible to update just the old, but light, speedy, usable and quickey DEL.ICIO.US BUTTONS 1.2.1 plugin for FF 3.0?

    I agree with the ppl demanding an update for DEL.ICIO.US BUTTONS…

    Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase …. !!!!!!!!!!

  • kalman  |  Jun 21 2008 at 2:02 am

    I like this new addon (I’have never used any older version) this is something that I was searching for.
    I like the delicious menu too :)
    But I don’t like the toolbar just below my usual bookmarks toolbar. I like the standard one better, it gives me more control over my favorite links. So I would hide the delicious toolbar but I can’t find an option for that. Pls, implement it.
    Or add a new view mode similar to favorite tags view but display bookmarks themselves not tags. That one extra click is just that annoying thing why I prefer the standard toolbar.
    p.s: I share the opinion that dark gray tag icons are not nice:(

  • Josef Ortega  |  Jun 21 2008 at 2:03 am

    Another vote for the removal of the (very annoying) “cookies must be enabled” warning. I am also using an intelligent cookie blocker extension and therefore do not need to enable cookies globally.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jun 21 2008 at 2:23 am

    Stephen Dedalus: Try classic mode. Go to Tools -> Delicious Options -> Advanced Tab -> the “Classic Mode” button. It’s pretty much the same as the old buttons.

    kalman: You can hide the Delicious toolbar. Go to View -> Toolbars -> “Delicious Toolbar”.

  • Jerry  |  Jun 21 2008 at 3:17 am

    @Britta: Thank you, that helps a lot. There is however still another key combo (Cmd+Shift+Y = View Style Information) which I use even more often than the other function. It is currently being interfered with by the “Jump to tag” dialog, and I can find no config key for that.

    Either way, we’re almost there, so thanks for all the good work on the extension!

  • sally_maria  |  Jun 21 2008 at 4:05 am

    Thank you very much for the quick response.

    Yes, looking at it again I can add tags with capitals, but I have to put them in manually. I can no longer use auto-complete properly because even though my tags start with capitals, in the pop-up they are all in lower case.

    Instead of - type initial letter, pick tag from drop-down list - I have - type initial letter, pick from list, go back and edit first letter. The same is true for the Recommended tags - they all start with lower case letters, even though mine are set up with capitals.

    The same thing happens with the rest of the extension, which is one of the major reasons I don’t want to use it. I appreciate not everybody can be bothered to capitalise their tags, but why penalise those of us who wish to do so?

  • suzuki  |  Jun 21 2008 at 7:52 am

    2.0.64 didn’t fix the most annoying: “Must enable cookies” warning, even tho’ del.icio.us is allowed through CS Lite, so I’m rolling back AGAIN, (and I miss the del.icio.us sidebar!)

    (I think something like CookieSafe is essential to Firefox, as native cookie control is a blunt instrument, esp. compared, for example, to IE.)

    I hate these sites that require zero cookie controls. The warning should check cookies for specific sites and request those be allowed.

    I also experience the long-running login problems reported elsewhere. It never goes smoothly, always acts like login has failed.

  • sally_maria  |  Jun 21 2008 at 11:27 am

    Just tried the latest version. And in classic mode, my capitals are back. :-) Brilliant, thank you very much.

    Of course, if you could persuade the full version to be that well behaved I might actually start using it, but in the meantime, thank you very much for providing a version that works the way I want it to.

    I’ve been very impressed by the way you’ve responded to comments and criticism, it’s been highly responsive and professional.

  • David Holroyd  |  Jun 21 2008 at 1:42 pm

    Why in FF3 does selecting the delicious icon in the Navigation toolbar automatically open my bookmarks in a new tab? It didn’t do this with FF2; I would prefer to control when a new tab is opened and middle-click when I want a new tab.

    Previously when using FF2 when I created a new bookmark any highlighted text on the page would automatically be inserted into the Notes when creating my bookmark - this isn’t working with FF3.

    I am using v2.0.64 in Classic mode.

  • Vamsee  |  Jun 21 2008 at 3:44 pm

    I tried installing delicious for my firefox3, and it won’t recognize my login, even though I’ve logged in at least 5 times!! What’s going on??

  • KK  |  Jun 21 2008 at 4:30 pm

  • Seth Kursel  |  Jun 21 2008 at 7:09 pm

    The option to hide Firefox’s “Bookmarks” bar seems to be gone. I don’t need that little vestigial limb of a toolbar there! Also, I’m dying because Del.icio.us doesn’t do my RSS feeds.

  • BC  |  Jun 21 2008 at 7:29 pm

    The “Most Visited” view still ignores certain bookmarks, no matter how many times I use it.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jun 22 2008 at 12:30 am

    sally_maria: Thanks! I’m glad we can help.

    David Holroyd: Good question about tabs; I’ll try to find out why we changed the behavior. And the second part sounds like a bug — I just tried this, and selected text gets plugged into the Notes field in normal mode but not in classic mode.

    Vamsee: It’s hard to tell without further details, but try making sure that both “Accept cookies from sites” and “Accept third-party cookies” are turned on in your Firefox preferences. You can also try changing your del.icio.us password and logging in again.

    KK: The link is near the bottom of the post: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615

    Seth Kursel: We had to disable hiding the Bookmarks menu on OS X - see http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delicious-firefox-extension/message/2668 for details. Can you explain what you mean by “Del.icio.us doesn’t do my RSS feeds”?

    BC: Are they bookmarks with URLs that redirect somewhere else? http://gmail.com/ would be an example of a URL that redirects. There’s a known problem with counting those, but you can work around this by bookmarking the final redirected URL instead (for example, http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox).

  • YAY! del.icio.us plugin f&hellip  |  Jun 22 2008 at 2:36 am

  • Benabik  |  Jun 22 2008 at 10:06 am

    New bug! Using Firefox 3 and addon 2.0.64 on OS X. I also saw this bug on 2.0.62.

    When I have the delicious toolbar set to tag bundle mode, I can’t use anything other than the first bundle. If I click on the 2nd, 3rd, etc bundle, the menu pops down correctly, but when I mouse over the menu, it suddenly pops over to the first bundle.

  • Benabik  |  Jun 22 2008 at 10:10 am

    Huh. I just re-arranged my bundles and they work properly now. However, I’ve had this spontaneously fix and break before, so I still dont’ trust it.

  • Babatunde Adeyemi  |  Jun 22 2008 at 10:54 am

    Thanks a lot for the update. I’ve been having great challenges using FF3 without a compatible del.icio.us plugin.

  • Alexander Gieg  |  Jun 22 2008 at 11:44 am

    I really don’t like the multi-step way things are currently:

    a) First I click the Star icon in the address bar to bookmark the current page;

    b) Then a dialog appears asking me whether I want to also bookmark this on del.icio.us;

    (If I uncheck the check box there and click Yes, that bookmark goes to del.icio.us, all right, but future ones don’t. This means the addon doesn’t understand that, for most people, “uncheck annoying dialog box option followed by OK” is intuitively taken as meaning that all future cases will default to yes. In other words, it works the exact opposite way of what one expects.)

    c) Then I click Yes, see the tag filling window appear, fill then, and click save, only to find that the tags I’ve just filled don’t get added to FF3’s internal bookmarks;

    d) What means I have then to click the Star a second time, this one to fill the tags AGAIN, otherwise they won’t be available for FF3’s address bar auto-search feature.

    As if the above “four steps that should be one” weren’t annoying enough, doing a manual sync also doesn’t get any of my del.icio.us tags imported into FF3’s tagging system, or the other way around.

    So, my request is that you please add the option for full automatic two-way synchronization of both bookmarks AND tags between FF3 and del.icio.us, so that clicking the Star once causes the tagging window to appear, and tags added there to appear and work in both FF3 and del.icio.us.

    In short: integrate, integrate, integrate and integrate. :-)

  • kalman  |  Jun 22 2008 at 12:17 pm

  • Jason  |  Jun 22 2008 at 3:45 pm

    I was mildly annoyed that the extension kept warning me I had the same keyword shortcuts in Firefox and Delicious. So I removed them from Firefox. My keywords still worked fine in FF3. Just updated to the latest extension version, and now keyword searches are broken. I didn’t change anything, I don’t know what happened.

    Example: I have “g” set as a keyword search for Google. I used to be able to type “g woodworking” to search Google for woodworking. Now it’s broken, even though the keyword search is still in my Delicious bookmarks.

  • Doktorlar  |  Jun 22 2008 at 3:45 pm

  • Jeff Daly  |  Jun 22 2008 at 4:50 pm

    I’ve been using del.icio.us for years and I love it. I have over 11_000 bookmarks, so I’m pretty well invested in it.

    I completely agree with Alexander Gieg’s comments here.

    One of the biggest changes in Firefox 3 is the new bookmarking system which allows the user to apply tags to each bookmark. This is an excellent opportunity for del.icio.us to be more highly integrated with Firefox via its addon. The extension should provide the option to synchronize tags.

  • len  |  Jun 22 2008 at 7:35 pm

    Work around for gray “Continue” button and no step 3.

    Add the extension from the add-on site and restart Firefox when requested.

    At step 1 open a second copy of Firefox (you will notice that the extension is active) and log into del.icio.us.

    Go back to the first copy of Firefox and continue the installation steps.

    Hope this helps,
    Len.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jun 23 2008 at 1:52 am

    Alexander Gieg (and Jeff Daly): Thanks for the detailed explanation — that makes sense. There seem to be a bunch of people who are interested in synchronizing bookmarks from Delicious to Firefox (I’ve noticed this forum thread and this blog post), so we’ll think about it as an option.

    dep, redstormfront, and others: I’ll update Nick’s post to make the download link clearer. Here it is again, for completeness: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615

    Lazer Epilasyon: Yes, you want classic mode. If you’re in classic mode, your browser will only have two delicious buttons (the logo and “TAG”).

    Guvenlik Sistemi: Try classic mode. Go to Tools -> Delicious Options -> Advanced Tab -> the “Classic Mode” button.

    Doktorlar: Unfortunately, the old extension won’t work in Firefox 3. Classic mode in the new extension is almost exactly the same as the old extension though, with a slightly different look to the buttons.

    len: Interesting. Another person found a different workaround — http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delicious-firefox-extension/message/2756. Try checking for updates to make sure you have the latest version.

    I don’t know how good this addon is yet. Why? Because I installed it yesterday morning and let it go ahead and import my 700 or so bookmarks. It is still importing them. That’s over 24 hours ago! OVER TWENTY FOUR HOURS!

    You can’t use Firefox while the bookmarks are importing. The UI disappears and all you do is watch the CPU usage on Task Manager and hope it finishes soon - without knowing if you are really just waiting or if something has gone terribly horribly wrong and you have completely screwed up Firefox.

    I can’t start another instance of Firefox. I can kill the process and re-start Firefox, but it goes straight back into the import process. I even re-booted and the same thing happens.

    I have had to use IE in the meantime, and I am really annoyed about that. (I actually feel crippled having to work in IE after getting used to Firefox.)

    I *was* looking forward to trying out this addon. That was about 23 and half hours ago.

    Not happy Jan.

  • DanC  |  Jun 24 2008 at 8:59 pm

    Having some trouble with the new add-on. Running it on FF3, Windows XP, etc etc. While in the advanced mode, I’ll right-click on a page, click the “Bookmark This Page In Delicious. . .” and it will load the familiar window including the various forms for tagging a page. However, at the bottom, it no longer displays “my” or “suggested” tags. After switching over to the “Classic Mode” these reappear; however I lose the Status Bar Icons.

    I’ve installed the add-on on a copy of Portable FF3 and it works just fine, including the “suggested” tags while in the “Advanced Mode.”

    Any one else having these issues, and if so, have you come up with a solution?

  • tacitdynamite  |  Jun 24 2008 at 9:02 pm

    There are a few important user experience snafus in the 2.0.64 version of the new extension on the XP version of Firefox 3.0 running noscript. I’m sure you’ve noticed them, but in the spirit of user advocacy I’ll point them out:

    1.) When you try to bookmark something the first time in a session, a popup window requests you to login. While the buttons indicate that “login” is the default action, pressing Enter does not trigger the default action.

    2.) When you click on the “login” button, nothing happens the first time. You have to try to bookmark the page again in order for the login window to appear.

    3.) When you are logged in and you bookmark a page, typing in the first few letters of a tag you’ve used before produces an unacceptable amount of delay before displaying suggestions - probably 500ms or so. This irregularly long delay causes users that have adapted to the tab-complete gesture to input tab before suggestions are displayed, causing the focus to shift to the save button.

    Regards,
    tacitdynamite

  • Red Wolf  |  Jun 25 2008 at 4:54 am

    I’m going to ask for the original two button extension to be updated too.

    And don’t even think of mentioning the cop out of switching to Classic mode in the new version. Have tried that and, while it works, it’s brilliant. Unfortunately, it still gets to the point where it kills the address bar, just like in advanced mode. This is pathetic. Just update the original version without all of the bells and whistles so those of us who don’t want to deal with the bugs in the bloatware version can have a functioning extension again.

  • J Francis  |  Jun 25 2008 at 5:03 am

    A small request - when you show the dialog to add a URL to del.icio.us, please please don’t resize it after it’s shown (when it’s made a guess at the tags that might be required). It’s so annoying to try and click the Save button and have it move out of the way just before you click on it. Perhaps move it above the tags or something?

  • Aaron  |  Jun 25 2008 at 7:41 am

    Favorite Tags are not being saved for me on my home desktop, which is running version 2.0.64 of the plugin. I’ve restarted the program, logged out and back into delicious, still nothing. Weird thing is my work laptop is running the same version of the plugin and it works. Any ideas?

  • Jukov  |  Jun 25 2008 at 11:31 am

    I just can’t figure out this bug:

    When I open the sidebar I only see a small portion of my tags and bookmarks. When I clear the catch ( and all private data) in FF3 and the bookmarks are cleared, the addon syncs the tags and the bookmarks correctly. It does so on full sync as well.
    Close - reopen the sidebar and most of the tags and bookmarks disappear again.
    Tried installing reinstalling cleaning etc. - nothing works.

    Please help me.

    Start over guys, it’s BROKEN. It gets stuck in an infinite loop when you install it, asking you to either login to an existing account or create a new one, but when you login to an existing account it won’t recognize it and keeps asking you to login to an existing account or create a new one. It was fine, why did you break it? I guess del.icio.us will be going out of business now. So sad.

    Syncing is very flaky. I installed the Firefox extension 2.0.64 on a new PC and it won’t download any of my Del.icio.us bookmarks. I added a new bookmark using the browser and that showed up on the website but the reverse does not happen. Sometimes the status bar says that syncing failed. Most often, it says nothing at all.

    This problem was prevalent on the Internet Explorer plugin but the newest release of the IE plugin a couple of days ago seemed to fixed the problem. So I hope a similar fix is in the works for Firefox.

    Thanks for the great tool. But after switching to FF3, I have to sign in every time when I restart FF3. I’m using Mac OSX 10.5.3. On other Windows XP machines, it works fine, though. Any idea why FF3 cann’t set the delicious cookie correctly on Mac?

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 3 2008 at 8:25 am

    caili: First, try deleting your del.icio.us and icio.us cookies and seeing if that helps. If it doesn’t, it’s probably a certain bug that we know about that should be fixed soon.

  • Olivier  |  Jul 5 2008 at 3:21 am

    I’m in the same case as Florian, Niobe, suzuki: please remove the cookies warning when cookies are disabled BUT del.icio.is in the exception list. And if it isn’t it would be better to propose to add it instead of globally enabling cookies.

  • Newrone  |  Jul 5 2008 at 3:56 pm

    I DON’T WANT the delicious toolbar! And you say: “You can show or hide the Bookmarks toolbar by going to the menu View → Toolbars and selecting (or deselecting) the del.icio.us Toolbar.” - This doesn’t work because the del.icio.us Toolbar is NOT LISTED in View → Toolbars.

    I HATE it when a publisher thinks they have the right to edit/invade your apps just because you registered to a web site. I WILL disable everything delicious & never return if I can’t get rid of this. Bang!

  • delifeeds  |  Jul 6 2008 at 2:01 pm

    If you like del.icio.us tools, check out http://www.delifeeds.com. It will scan your del.icio.us bookmarks for rss feeds and create a personal blogroll for you.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 6 2008 at 8:10 pm

    Newrone: The Delicious toolbar isn’t listed in View → Toolbars if it’s in classic mode. Maybe that’s what’s happening? If you’d like to completely uninstall the add-on, you can do that by going to Tools → Add-ons → “Delicious Bookmarks” → Uninstall.

    We recommend installing the add-on during the registration process because it’s the easiest way to save bookmarks, but it’s optional. You can also use the simple bookmarklet buttons or the “post” link (at the top of any page on Delicious when logged in).

  • pyrorain  |  Jul 6 2008 at 10:44 pm

    my delicous toolbar is blank, doenst show anything, ive tried desactivating and reactivating with no success.

  • Lars  |  Jul 7 2008 at 5:41 am

    Hi, I think there may be an issue with the address bar related to delicious. While researching this issue, I found this: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comments_parentId=85271&forumId=1 .

    I’ve been having the same issue as well, which is just a sporadic failure of the address bar to accept the “enter” key. It may happen very rarely, but it happens enough to be noticeable. The only solution is to restart the browser.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 7 2008 at 9:09 am

    pyrorain: Try going to View → Toolbars → Customize, and see if the Delicious buttons are hiding in that panel (near the bottom). You can drag them out into your toolbar.

    Lars: Try getting the latest version from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/3615 . We’ve heard about this bug and it may be successfully fixed.

  • Jeff  |  Jul 7 2008 at 12:18 pm

    I have installed Firefox 3 (final not the beta) and the delicious toolbar which I love.

    But … none of the favicons show up on the delicious toolbar. Just the default versions. Very disappointing since it makes it very hard to navigate the toolbar when all the icons are the same.

    So I’m hoping this is a known problem and there is a fix on the way.

  • pyrorain  |  Jul 7 2008 at 2:07 pm

    Britta:
    the bar is there, and I diddint mean the buttons toolbar, but the top bookmaks bar, it should have my bookmarks but tits empty, just a gray bar, I also uninstalled and reinstalled the addon, but no luck.

    check the UEL , its screencap of my firefox

  • 4AM  |  Jul 7 2008 at 4:57 pm

    Hello, I’m still getting sync problems in Firefox 3 under Mac OS X 10.4.11. If I leave bookmarks in my account away from my computer, are they supposed to sync to my local bookmarks? I’d really like to have them be one in the same once and for all - forgive me for not being a more experienced delicious user, but is this supposed to be possible with this new plug-in?

  • croutonboy  |  Jul 8 2008 at 12:58 pm

    I’m having the same problem as Jeff…no favicons in the toolbar. The first few times I used the tool bar they downloaded, so I have five or six, but the rest are blank. They show up fine in the tabs, though. thoughts?

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 8 2008 at 2:01 pm

    Jeff and croutonboy: We’ve noticed some problems with favicons that may be due to Firefox and not Delicious, but we’re looking into it.

    pyrorain: This might be due to an add-on conflict — another user saw something similar with an older version of Better Gmail 2. Try disabling all add-ons except Delicious and seeing if it still happens, and try making sure all your add-ons have the latest updates.

    4AM: The Delicious add-on does not sync your Delicious bookmarks and your local bookmarks, but you can choose to import your local bookmarks into Delicious by going to your “settings” (at the top right of any page on del.icio.us) and choosing “import / upload”.

  • pyrorain  |  Jul 9 2008 at 12:56 pm

    Britta; All other add ons deactivated, except delicious toobar, and yet no luck, sitll a blank delicious toobar.

  • susan  |  Jul 11 2008 at 7:11 am

    Ever since I downloaded Firefox 3 I have had nothing but trouble. I cannot get my del.icious add on back and many of my preferred add ons are unavailable with firefox 3. I hate the thought of it, but I’m going back to IE until Firefox delivers.

  • Peter  |  Jul 11 2008 at 8:05 am

    Same problem with CPU usage over 10%, even if firefox is in background, here on Windows XP.

    But still, I love this add-on!

    Cheers
    Peter

  • dpk  |  Jul 11 2008 at 5:11 pm

    I just tried the del.icio.us Firefox 3 plugin but immediately had to uninstall it. It looks like it basically reverts FF3 back to using the so-called awesomebar, even if you’re using the oldbar add-on. Is there a plan to make del.icio.us work with oldbar, or alternatively, to emulate oldbar’s behavior?

  • dpk  |  Jul 11 2008 at 5:16 pm

    Nevermind, maybe. I installed it again and it seems to be working properly now. I can’t explain what is different.

  • unfortunate  |  Jul 11 2008 at 10:46 pm

    I use the classic mode of the extension on OSX, and I’m disappointed that the del.icio.us team removed the “characters remaining” functionality from the popup window in the betas. it also looked nicer in the betas too (and had some tag prediction functionality too, I think?). basically the only reason now to use the classic mode over the bookmarklets is that it opens in a new small window instead of a different tab.

    Furthermore, I appreciate the removal of the “del.icio.us menu” from the taskbar, but I don’t appreciate squishing all of those functions into the regular bookmarks menu. just eliminate them completely, please, or even better, make it configurable which functions you’d like to show in the bar.

  • Clint  |  Jul 12 2008 at 9:32 pm

    Like WavyDavey, I have a G4 Mac running OS 10.4, and installing Delicious Bookmarks on Firefox 3 makes my browser take up 15% of my CPU when it should be using about 0.3%. I’m using version 2.0.72.

  • batmor  |  Jul 13 2008 at 2:38 am

    I have the same problem with the favicons that other users have expleined above, in the delicious toolbar they doesn’t appear. Please try to solve that problem.

  • Anna  |  Jul 13 2008 at 5:59 am

  • mario  |  Jul 14 2008 at 8:45 am

    i accepted the update for the delicious plugin last night…big mistake.

    the update won’t take hold, keeps telling me i need to restart firefox to complete install, but every time i click restart the plugin fails to take hold. grrr…

    don’t think this is an issue with FF 3, as i had the previous version running fine.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 14 2008 at 10:06 am

    4AM: No, the Delicious add-on doesn’t sync your Firefox bookmarks with Delicious. We’re considering that as an option for a future version, though. You can read more about this on the add-on mailing list.

    pyrorain: Weird. We’ll rack our brains about this.

    susan: Did you try installing the updated add-on? What happened?

    Peter and Clint: CPU usage is a known issue, and we’re working on figuring it out.

    unfortunate: Normal mode still has the character counter and tag suggestions, but we switched classic mode to be much like the bookmarklet interface — several people wanted classic mode to be as much like the old add-on as possible. The added options in the bookmarks menu are new with the latest version of the add-on; I’ll check on whether we’re keeping them like that.

    Anna: If you’d like to remove the Delicious toolbar and have an add-on more like the older one, go to Tools → Delicious Options → Advanced → “Classic Mode”.

    mario: Do you mean that the buttons don’t show up? There might be an add-on conflict. Try disabling all other add-ons and restarting again.

  • Richie  |  Jul 15 2008 at 5:55 pm

    I like the delicious plugin, but I’ve just disabled it because of the same CPU problems others have noted in FF3.

    I feel like the usage actually got worse under the most recent release.

    I’m on a macbook running FF3 on Tiger.

  • Richie  |  Jul 15 2008 at 6:00 pm

    Props to Micah, I can again use delicio.us now.

    I appreciate trying to push the bar forward, but I can’t have a plugin cause my cpu to jump from 10-20% even when FF3 is minimized.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 15 2008 at 7:12 pm

    Richie: Yeah, that’s a problem. Another workaround for now is to use the simple bookmarklet buttons.

  • Jay Stevens  |  Jul 16 2008 at 10:30 pm

  • pedro  |  Jul 17 2008 at 1:47 pm

    Thank you for listening to us users, and especially for improving the cookie dialog situation. I am loving the addon and am fully impressed with the way this beta was handled.

  • Angella  |  Jul 18 2008 at 10:57 am

    When I am trying to bookmark something in firefox I get the prompt to ask me if I want to save it to del.icio.us (which is fine) but when I say yes, it doesn’t give me the option to choose where I want to save my bookmark in firefox and just saves it in the root folder.

    It didn’t work this way with firefox 2 / previous version of the plugin. Is there a setting for this?

    Many thanks
    Angella

  • Nina  |  Jul 19 2008 at 12:22 pm

    I’ve been having the same problem with firefox. Not only with this site, but with others. Any ideas?

  • Nina  |  Jul 19 2008 at 12:24 pm

    I am also having trouble figuring out how to connect with others on this site. There is no real directions as to how this site works. Can anyone give me any help? My bookmarks go into the same place all the time and I don’t know how to get to others. So how do other people get to mine?

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 21 2008 at 3:53 pm

    Angella: After you choose to bookmark something, you should get a little black pop-up box saying “Page Bookmarked”, which contains a drop-down menu for selecting a folder. Is that what happens? If not, can you describe what happens?

    Nina: We have some help about this at http://del.icio.us/help/sharing and http://del.icio.us/help/discovering.

  • Jeton  |  Jul 22 2008 at 1:49 pm

    I’ve really become accustomed to using this extensions, Ctrl+D was the most used shortcut.
    But with 300MB of Memory only for this, and repeated freezes of Firefox, I’ll have to wait until you resolve the issue.

    Keep up the good work and thank you for such a useful tool.

  • Josh A.  |  Jul 23 2008 at 4:46 am

    @Britta First off, thanks for the final version of the new extension. I’ve used the extension almost since I signed up for delicious, and it’s really great. One feature request for the next release: could you add an option so that the delicious logo button on the right of the tag button can be chosen to open in the current tab, rather than opening a new one (perhaps not as default, just if people want to - I like to reduce the number of tabs open and since having lots of tabs open distracts me, I like to read through the current tab then when I’m done go to a new page in the same tab). Another quick question is will there be/could someone on the team post about the new version and its development progress - as it’s coming up to a year since the initial post and we’ve not heard much since.

  • Moritz Winter  |  Jul 23 2008 at 8:26 am

    A Feature to have del.ico.us tags in the firefox 3 bookmarks would be nice tough

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 23 2008 at 3:14 pm

    Jeton: Hmm, this shouldn’t be freezing Firefox. Try installing the experimental version 2.0.73?

    Josh A.: I think we modified the new-tab behavior of the buttons to be more in line with Firefox 3 standards, but we’ll look into this.

    Moritz: That’s also something we’re considering. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Josh A.  |  Jul 24 2008 at 5:31 am

    Thanks.

  • Jeton  |  Jul 25 2008 at 5:38 am

    Britta: I can confirm that the freezing doesn’t occur after installing v.2.0.73

    But still, the memory spike problem is there. Firefox jumps from 80MB to 200MB and then goes down to 80-90MB.

    I also think that importing/exporting integration with the FX3 bookmarking system would be welcomed for this extension.

    Thanks for keeping us posted.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Jul 26 2008 at 6:25 pm

    Jeton: We’ll look into the memory issue.

  • Muse  |  Jul 29 2008 at 8:58 am

  • Maggie Wolfe Riley  |  Aug 5 2008 at 3:13 pm

    Apologies if this has been mentioned earlier, but I had to uninstall my Delicious add-on because it broke some functionality in FF3! There are a couple (at least 3) threads over on Mozilla’s support forum about this - when many tabs were open, the address bar stopped working - you couldn’t type or paste in a URL, and you couldn’t even click on a suggested URL from the “awesome bar” - there were quite a few people with the issue, though a small percentage of FF3 users, and it turned out having the delicious toolbar add-on installed was the common link. The problem ceased for me when I uninstalled it, and I had tried many other things before.

    Here are the forum threads:

  • ptamaro  |  Aug 6 2008 at 7:35 am

    Ditto, I loved the most recent delicious add-on when I first downloaded it (and it worked okay in Firefox 2.x) but I noticed this problem immediately when I upgraded to Firefox 3.

    I use OS X and Win XP machines with several different browsers/versions on each of my machines, and it would be nice to have a consistent method to keep feeding my delicious bookmarks…

    I really love the new design and features and you folks are doing great work, thanks!

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Aug 6 2008 at 8:36 am

    Maggie Wolfe Riley: Thanks for reporting this. Yes, it took us a while too to realize this was caused by the Delicious add-on (!), but now it’s a known bug — tricky to track down, but most likely fixed in an update we’ll be pushing out through the Mozilla system soon. You can download it from http://delicious.com/help/quicktour/firefox if you’d like to get the update right away.

  • tom  |  Aug 23 2008 at 1:44 pm

    Stay away from Mozilla. They are highly unprofessional. Their solution for everything is to insult and ban you.

  • cubus  |  Sep 6 2008 at 8:31 am

    I’m using the latest version of Delicious Bookmarks (v2.0.95) on a MAC firefox 3.0.1.

    Never had a problem with the bookmarks, until I tryed out the Mozilla Obiquity add-on last week. Now my delicious bookmarks keep on (fully !) synchronizing all the time, which is really slowing down firefox. Also the synchronizing isn’t always entirely complete.

    Maybe it hasn’t anything to do with Obiquity (which I really like) but I wondered if someone else was having the same issues, and that it could be fixed.

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Sep 6 2008 at 3:47 pm

    cubus: This is another problem with 2.0.95, not related to Ubiquity, and our 2.0.101 test version fixes it too.

  • cubus  |  Sep 7 2008 at 12:36 am

  • Alain  |  Sep 28 2008 at 2:51 am

    It would be nice to have the option to deactivate / hide the “most visited” and “recently bookmarked” items in the delicious menu. Or have them be cleared along with the rest of traces when we try to have some privacy…

    Here’s the fix for the blank Delicious toolbar:

    1. Make sure that your Delicious toolbar is visible.
    2. Click View > Toolbars > Customize.
    3. Under the icons, find “Delicious Toolbar” with a double icon.
    4. Drag it onto your blank Delicious Toolbar.
    5. Click Done.

    At this point, you can change your view to Bookmarks, Favorites or Tag Bundles. You can use the same procedure to put the main Delicious buttons back on your Navigation toolbar as well.

    Like other people I get the “You have just signed out of Delicious” error message every ten or fifteen minutes. This happens on both my macs running FF3 on Leopard 10.5.5. It’s incredibly annoying and as much as I love delicious I can’t keep using it like this. It essentially means I have to sign in everytime I want to bookmark something.

    Any fixes?

  • Jordan  |  Nov 11 2008 at 10:34 pm

    I keep getting the “you have signed out” message that comes up in Firefox that everyone else is getting. Also, for some reason all my cookies get deleted when I open up Firefox. When I disable the add-on my cookies are saved between sessions like normal, so it does have something to do with your add-on.

  • Brave Cobra  |  Nov 14 2008 at 9:19 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve been having the same problem on all my machines, but once I unchecked “cookies” in Mozilla’s weave addon, it disappeared. It seems that weave was deleting (or rewriting) the delicious cookie.

    However I really would like to have weave guard my cookies across machines, so a fix by either addon is appreciated.

    Hope this helps.

  • Amy  |  Nov 16 2008 at 3:19 pm

  • Nadine  |  Dec 7 2008 at 12:53 am

    The latest update to Delicious seems to have replaced Ctrl-D with bookmark in Delcious rather than bookmark in Firefox. Although I have changed the shortcut for bookmark in Delicious to be something other than Ctrl-D, I can’t seem to get Ctrl-D back to bookmarking in Firefox. This worked until I just updated Delicious today.

    Tatil, you just need to find the delicious pages of other people then look at the top-right for a link with the text “Add to my network”.

    Add a bunch of people that you find interesting then check out their latest bookmarks via the “People” menu or the icon in the Firefox plug-in.

    Here are ten people that I find interesting on delicious: http://www.mmmeeja.com/blog/social-networking/delicious-network.html

  • sweetz1  |  Dec 25 2008 at 5:48 pm

    1. Doing a Full Sync
    2. Disabling and enabling delicious
    3. Uninstalling and reinstalling delicious
    These all work, but only for a short period of time before not working again. I’m currently using Firefox 3 and the latest version of the delicious toolbar. Please help, it’s really annoying to have to come back to the site the re-edit tags….

  • LW  |  Feb 5 2009 at 1:01 pm

    I downloaded Delicious on a friend’s recommendation but soon discovered that it was not what I thought it was (ie some simple listing of my bookmarks that I could access from other computers). I didn’t expect it to integrate itself all over Firefox. I signed up and deleted my account, but there is still a Delicious tab on Firefox’s main menu (alongside ‘History’ and ‘Tools’.) It was still coming up in the sidebars, and I was able to hide it there, but it bothers m that it is apparently still on my computer taking up space.
    So how do I erase it completely, short of reinstalling Firefox?

  • Britta Gustafson  |  Feb 5 2009 at 3:32 pm

    LW: You can completely uninstall Delicious from Firefox by going to Tools → Add-ons, make sure you’re in the “Extensions” tab, select the “Delicious Bookmarks” item, and click the “Uninstall” button.

    You can also use Delicious as a simple list of bookmarks on the web — you can register again, and instead of installing the full add-on, install the two simple bookmarklet buttons instead.

  • LW  |  Feb 5 2009 at 8:23 pm

    Thanks Britta for the prompt response. Also, I didn’t know of the minimal version and I may try it.

  • Jacques  |  Mar 30 2009 at 4:38 am

    The delicious bookmarks for FireFox is one of my favourite social media toolbar items, and I use it regularly. The minimal version is the one that I use, and it comes highly recommended.

  • Jacques Snyman  |  Apr 29 2009 at 1:52 am

    As I said previously, I use the minimal version in my Firefox toolbar. What I omitted to say was that the only other social media icon occupying my toolbar is StumbleUpon. I really love delicious and StumbleUpon, they are my favourite social bookmarking services.

Took me 15 minutes to go through 700 bookmarks and delete the ones I did not want or ask for…

    When I logged out, it ONLY gave me the options to import synchronise the lists (I would lose the ones I deleted?) which would import all MY bookmarks into HIS list, or to delete all of MY bookmarks from HIS firefox list (there will be some shared ones I want to keep). ARGHHH! (I Alt-F4′d to stop it)

    Why can’t you leave our stuff alone UNLESS we give permission!!!!

    You’ve turned something useful into a monster. What were your designers thinking?????

    Nick,

    last year you noted that the ‘hide bookmarks menu’ option for firefox 3 and mac os x was removed due to a bug in firefox 3. has that bug been fixed in firefox 3.5? i would like to hide my bookmarks menu.

    thanks.
