- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14636167, 3 years agothis is one of those rare gem FF extensions that does not get very much attention, but is really very well done and is extremely useful. i have tried & used many FF extensions & i would rate this one easily a 10 out of 10, i have been using it for almost a year, works great. truly hoping that this developer (Armin) continues to work on & update this wonderful extension, excellent utility !!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zach, 5 years agoGreat for people who are used to Safari's Reading List (though it isn't cross-device). Love how simple it is, with clean unobtrusive design. I tried to get into Pocket and it just bounced off me, and the extensions for it are fairly terrible. I like the one click to add a page. This works for me!
Comparing to Reading List, maybe an option to pull website icons and a bit of body text would be nice... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13968536, 5 years agoExcellent extension. No more leaving 50 tabs open to look at later. It's great that it works efficiently, and with the sidebar.
However, I wish the design was better. I also wish it was integrated into the address bar rather than the toolbar, but you seem to be able to add to Pile using the bookmark button, anyways. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jens Bannmann, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13546421, 7 years agoEDITED: updated rating, thanks for answering my questions :-)
Does what it says, great potential, but here are some features I'd like to see:
Clicking again on the icon should toggle bookmark instead of bookmarking again.
Add a setting to choose the destination folder (some might want to put it in the bookmark toolbar)
Since this is under MIT license, would you mind adding a link to a code repository to read/contribute?Developer response
posted 7 years ago• A toggle would require the add-on to search all bookmarks every time a new page is loaded. As I want to keep this as lightweight as possible, I went for another solution: If you try to add an already existing bookmark, it is moved to the top. Duplicates are deleted.
• You can move the Pile folder wherever you want, including the bookmarking toolbar.
• Good idea. I will put it on github in the coming days. - Rated 5 out of 5by Donald Reed, 8 years agoThis addon has potential but I wish it has two features:
1. Favicons - it will make easier to distinguish between sites on pile (I think API for this is available)
2. Search - it will be easier to manage long list of saved pages
Also, not sure if it's possible - add button to show pile sidebar directly. Currently pile have to be chosen from sidebar menu manually unless it was the last item accessed.Developer response
posted 7 years ago1. Access to cached favicons is not (yet) supported. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616
2. Pile v1.4 now features a little search field
3. FF 57 now features a dedicated sidebar show/hide button. You can also move the sidebar to the right side now, if you want. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12706044, 8 years agoNice. Together with the 'Total Bookmarks' plugin I now have a system to quickly store store bookmarks and sort them out later. One feature request: It should refuse to 'pile' duplicates.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12609462, 8 years agoIt's a nice and practical idea to have a place to short bookmarks temporarily, it works fine so far. It's light and not bloated as well, my thanks to the dev and I hope this app will get support!
