Keep or Delete Bookmarks por Sören Hentzschel

The add-on randomly displays one bookmark, including the title, the URL and the bookmark folder. The user has several options:

1) Keep the bookmark. The bookmark will be added to a whitelist and Keep or Delete Bookmarks will never ask again about this bookmark.

2) Delete the bookmark. The bookmark will be deleted from your Firefox.

3) Skip the bookmark and defer the decision. Keep or Delete Bookmarks will show you the next bookmark without any action.

4) Open the bookmark. Maybe you are not sure about the bookmark yet. This options lets you open the bookmark in a new tab before you make a decision.

Permissions

Keep or Delete Bookmarks does not work without the following permissions:

- access browser tabs

The permission to access the browser tabs is needed so that Keep or Delete Bookmarks can jump to the already opened user interface if the user interface is already opened in another tab and you click the button in the browser's toolbar.

- read and modify bookmarks

You installed Keep or Delete Bookmarks to show and remove bookmarks so it should be clear why the permission is needed to read and modify your bookmarks.

Optional permissions:

- access your data for all sites

The add-on checks the bookmarks by sending a request to the appropriate URLs. This cannot work without the permission to access these sites. Keep or Delete Bookmarks asks at runtime for this permission if you want to execute this check.

Keep or Delete Bookmarks needs some more permissions, but Firefox does not prompt for the following permissions:

- menus

The menus permission is needed for providing a menu entry in the tools menu to access Keep or Delete Bookmarks's user interface.

- storage

The storage permission is needed so that Keep or Delete Bookmarks can remember which bookmarks you want to keep.
