How does "Bookmarks Organizer" work? Does it?
Latest update of Firefox (63, 64-bit) came with an add-on called "Bookmarks Organizer." Neat idea, but does it work? Mine counts the bookmark total, and then counts "warnings" and "errors" in a reasonable period of time. Then the logo at screen center continues to indicate that it's busy, and a striped bar appears, but nothing else happens, for as long as hours. Firefox itself is mostly unresponsive during this time. If I minimize the Firefox window, when I restore it the only thing visible on the "Bookmarks Organizer" page is the rotating spoked wheel so often seen in PC's, and it's been turning for about a half hour as of now. Clicking on the Bookmarks Organizer icon has no effect. Is the user supposed to click something after the count seems completed? Is there a problem? Is there a fix? Thanks.

Are you sure it's a pre-installed add-on?
First try disabling and enabling this add-on.
If that doesn't work, sign in into the Firefox browser and sync all your data and then perform a refresh before going into any lengthy troubleshooting process. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
I don't know if V63 came with Bookmarks Organizer installed but it showed a pop-up inviting that I use it.
Never worked, even though I re-installed & refreshed Firefox itself and then re-installed the organizer. But I got two extensions which do the job, "Bookmarks Clean-Up" & "404 Bookmarks"
V63 had a lot of other glitches, problems, & slowdowns, in spite of the re-installs and refreshes I mentioned. So I went back to V62, which quickly updated itself to 63, which no longer gives me trouble. Go figure.
Well just glad that it somhow got sorted.
