Describe the Bug

Hello,
floccus ignores local Links like "edge://downloads/all".
I've uploaded all my bookmarks into the file on Google Drive and works fine with the exception, that all my "edge" BMs are vanished.

Thanks in advanced.

Regards, V00id

Expected Behavior

Local Edge BMs are saved as well.

To Reproduce

Just add a BM, for example "edge://downloads/all" and then upload to remote.
Delete local BMs.
Then download BMs from remote back to local.
No "edge://" BM.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

This is somewhat by design as not all browsers support edge links.

Hello,
thanks for your immediate answer.

What you are saying is, that not floccus is refusing to transmit the links into the "bookmarks.xbel" file. The firefox browser is filtering them out at import time?

[marcelklehr]

No, sorry, floccus is filtering them, because creating them on Firefox would cause an error. But I suppose, it would be possible to filter them on firefox instead and allow adding them to the xbel file...

Hm, the reason why anyone is using a bookmark managing addon is to exchange ONE bookmark collection for multiple browsers. So nothing should be filtered out.

It is the problem of the user, if he don't get it, that he should not use those Edge-Link in Firefox.

PS: Don't get me wrong, I find your floccus addon very good, and plan to donate and use it.
I just want to point out this issue here.

Any other schemes than edge:// ?

Any other schemes than edge:// ?

Hello, I dont use Edge anymore, only Firefox. So, I dont need any Bookmark sync addons anymore.
You may close that issue.
