- Rated 1 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 6 years agoVery poorly made extension, don't install! It causes a huge slowing of the page. On almost every page I visit, I have a yellow warning window on the top (it's from Firefox, it's not a malware) saying that Diigo causes big slowing down. Plus, I'm more and more unhappy with this service, it's too expensive, and free account is way too limited. Worse and worse.
- Rated 1 out of 5by soulchainer, 7 years agoIn last versions of Firefox (at least in Firefox Web Developer Edition, which is were I had this installed) this extension has/causes a memory leak, at least with you have too many tabs. It devores all the memory available and then, the machine get frozen and I need to reboot :). It goes from 6-7 gigas of normal usage (in my PC, because the software I have usually running, of course) to all my 16GB, in 1-2 minutes. It's crazy.
I uninstalled it, because, in fact, I'm not using this extension for a while, but I just comment for you to be aware of it.
Probably, this extension not being updated since last November doesn't help at this. - Rated 1 out of 5by Eric O'Brien, 7 years agoNo longer works for me in Firefox (running on Linux). For several WEEKS, clicking on ico asks for login, goes to web site, logs in... then clicking on again icon will *very* briefly display the working menu, but that is quickly replace by a login prompt. This will repeat forever. The extension never understands that I have logged on. The product is now useless for me. EDIT - The problem seemed to be a conflict with the add-on "First Party Isolation." I disabled that and I can now log on. The Evernote add-on seemed to have a problem with First Party Isolation too. But not of my other add-ons.
- Rated 1 out of 5by dzmitry.lahoda, 7 years agoClosed sourced vendor lock in. During export they do not add commas into tags, added date, modified date, do not escape < > inside description so totally breaking import into Firefox. During export into IE they do even less. Firefox sites shows it is MPL, but it is not. Diigo does not properly supports Firefox on Ubuntu.
- Rated 1 out of 5by emmadaiou28, 7 years agoI use Diigo mainly for simple bookmarking and tagging functions. The 'redesign' of the extension has made it nearly unusable even for that, and the add-on seems broken at times.
1) The sidebar was the most useful thing about it, and that's now gone. The only way to access bookmarks is to actually go to the website, making the add-on largely pointless (for my purposes) other than as a shortcut to create or edit bookmarks.
2) Just now, I had to bookmark and tag the same page FOUR TIMES, because every time I clicked 'save' it brought up a pop-up ad about upgrading to a paid Diigo feature (a feature unrelated to what I was currently doing, fyi). When I dismissed the pop-up, it obviously canceled the bookmark save function along with it each time. (This was using the keyboard shortcut to save a bookmark. I ultimately had to do it by selecting the function from the toolbar icon menu instead, which did not prompt the pop-up upon saving.)
3) When a page is bookmarked, a little bar shows in the top right corner with (theoretically) tools for annotation and whatnot. Only most of the time that bar is completely blank (broken). There is no way to dismiss it, but it often ends up blocking important parts of a webpage (such as a logout link). - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13659601, 7 years agoDoes not work. When saving bookmark, it just displays orange arrow and nothing is saved.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13456904, 7 years agoI've been using this extension for years. But I had to disable it because is breaking something within the browser for visual formating to XML files.
When diigo extension is disabled, everything works fine. I work a lot with XML files. So if I have to choose (as I did) I go with natively formated XML.
Hope you can fix this. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10345654, 7 years ago
Developer response
posted 7 years agoCan you clarify your OS and browser version? Did you get any notification message?- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6660448, 8 years agothe tool bar is the only thing that l liked about diigo - now i have find another extension to use...could not leave well enough alone..totally changed the whole program....
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13361564, 8 years agoI liked the highlight function but I don't used daily...
Bring back the toolbar, I really miss it
The new "tool" is very slow, and I have to click too many times to capture pages.
Hopefully you will bring it back soon!
Sincerely - Rated 1 out of 5by Ma, 8 years agoAt first I thought I had disabled the extension by mistake when I didn't see the familiar toolbar. And then I saw the update. I liked the highlight function but honestly I used it like 10% of the time. What I really REALLY miss is the toolbar that used to let you add bookmarks real quick and remembered the keywords you used. Frankly I don't know why there was a need to get rid of it. Hopefully you will bring it back soon!
- Rated 1 out of 5by O---xxx--\(..o..)/--xxx----O, 8 years agoWhere is the Bookmarks Sidebar??? Is missing. This version of Diigo is complicated to use, put back the Bookmarks Sidebar. I do not care about the Enable multi-color highlighter, who wants it? what for??? I went from Delicious to Diigo...now what? one star
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13311579, 8 years agoNo longer functions.
I should have made sure autoupdate was turned off (btw - for all supposed security conscious developers out there this is why we turn off autoupdate - it ALWAYS breaks things) I digress.
Latest update has the nice clean looking pop up window. Enter data, strange, my keywords aren't coming up, manually enter, click save... and nothing happens.
Check my diigo page, nope not saved.
One of the few stable addons is now borked :/ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6506576, 8 years agoAfter all these years of using Diigo, this is just awful.
I tried downgrading, because I am now on FF 52 ESR, went back to Diigo 3.XX, same crap, nothing actually works.
I simply want to bookmark a link. How many people need this new functionality? It's noise!!!!
You are a bookmarking service, period, this is not rocket science.
Why do this to your user base?
Oh, I understand, you know better, we are just nuisances so you have to lead us.
I also tried installing the Diigolet, can't, only gives me Step 1, nothing more, installation doesn't work, it's just a broken page.
All these companies are now run by a bunch of cowboy coder-bros who know everything, yet know nothing.
See Mozilla, re: Firefox, same crap. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13310376, 8 years agoClunky. Too much clutter. Context window shows itself way off of the current cursor position making adding a new bookmark far less convenient. Can't add a new bookmark via context menu when text is selected - fundamental change from previous versions, which can't be overridden in settings.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13310314, 8 years agoUpdate, seven years later: Not only has that problem not been fixed, now it doesn't work at all. This is very disappointing because it's so good when it works! But between that and the inability to export my bookmarks (despite how the site says it has that functionality), this isn't worth it anymore.
Other reviews have mentioned problems, but I'm most frustrated with the pop-up window. If I click away from it, whether to highlight other text or to scroll down, it disappears AND erases everything I'd already added to that annotation. The main description field has been reduced to a single line, making it difficult for me to see the description I've added. - Rated 1 out of 5by CliffShep, 8 years agoI don't like this new add-on for Firefox. Now I have to go through at least 4 steps before I can bookmark a page. I want the old toolbar back and what's up with the diigo capture? I can't get rid of it when watching videos or movies. It's annoying!!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10295928, 8 years agoIt doesn't save anything (bookmark, tags or annotations). Only the link to my library is working (so yes, I'm logged in). It was working some time ago, now it's useless. Thanks for the upgrade.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Michael G., 8 years agoI'm not sure what idiots are employed by Firefox or diigo. I tried installing the most brilliant tool bar and found it does not exist any longer. I only see a small blue field with a what lower case d. Yet when I tried to install the tool bar I had before Firefox in its infinite wisdom says I cant because it might (parahrasing here) not be safe. Yet Firefox morons are okay with having a Yahoo tool bar the worst tool bar that could have the worst PUP's and malware in the universe. Wake up both Firefox and Diigo. I hate the new one but I have no choice I have all my bookmarks there It was easy to highlight. No you folks are morons. If I could both Firefox and diigo a -10 I would. Bring back the other one. Make it easier for those of us who have a brain to install what we have used and trust. Good grief what a bunch of losers.
- Rated 1 out of 5by globalgweilo, 8 years agoi woke this morning to find my diigo toolbar missing from firefox so i went to the diigo site to try to reinstall. it made me download a new version that doesn't work. i was working on a new york times article. the beginning and end were missing. the graphics were screwed up. and i don't like the fact that i have to select text and then click highlight each time. i used to be able to simply turn on the highlighter and go through an article selecting sections that would automatically highlight. it's terrible. can i get the old version back?
