Product Description:

Use Safari Prairiefire for weeding in Safari's bookmarks jungle. Isn't it time to retire all those bookmarks that expired months ago? Too many bookmarks just make things sluggish. Going through bookmarks is a process so tedious that it is rarely done. This application displays Safari's bookmarks in an iTunes-like list, and determines if they point to dead and missing links. View bookmarks by name, URL, but also on type of problem with the link. Bookmarks can be deleted or corrected without going to Safari. The user has full control over the process, can decide to scan through all bookmarks or a selection, and can also test individual bookmarks directly by launching them from the application. Bookmarks can be renamed and edited. Support for proxies, RSS feeds, and runs on Panther, Tiger, and Leopard.

Safari Prairiefire Troubleshooting ReportCould not even download it! - Version: 1.3.1, 4/26/2008 01:41PM PST

I tried on two separate occasions to download this app to my MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB memory and on both occasions the "mounting failed" for who knows what reason. I had really looked forward to getting this because of the condition of my bookmarks. Oh well.

Works fast and as advertized. I scanned all my bookmarks (over 1400) in just a few minutes. This is going to be a very useful tool for me. Editing and deleting bookmarks was easy. I noticed that setting the timeout time to 15 seconds allowed me to set the "simultaneous scans" value to 100 :)
A suggestion: The app could test for network speed and adjust simultaneous scans to max possible.

SafariBookMarkChecker --- article and download here:

http://www.coriolis.ch/article22.html

is a freebee that has been around a while, works just fine on Tiger, is quick, saves back-up copies of your bookmarks with every run, has sortable report so you can have your "problem" bookmarks grouped ---

clearly diferentiates between temporary and permanent changes, bad URL's and time-outs (registered, but not responding), ID's those that have log-on requirements (permissions), and you can quick check the validity any of them from the report.

For those that have other browsers, a way to use it is explained on the above page.
