  • Search your bookmarks from the extension popup
  • Browse your collections and recent saves in the popup

Firefox for Android

Recallio also works on Firefox for Android. Install it the same way from Firefox Add-ons on your phone. The popup and save features work the same as on desktop. Context menus and keyboard shortcuts aren't available on mobile - use the popup to save instead.

Keyboard shortcuts

You can change this shortcut in your browser's extension settings if it conflicts with something else.

Saving with the right-click menu

Right-click any link on a page to see Recallio options in the context menu:

  • Save page to Recallio - saves the current page
  • Save link to Recallio - saves the link you right-clicked without opening it
  • Save selection to Recallio - saves highlighted text as a bookmark with the source URL

The context menu also shows your collections as submenus, so you can save directly into a specific collection in one step.

Searching from the extension

Click the search icon at the bottom of the popup to search your bookmarks without leaving the current page. Results show the page title, URL domain, and favicon. Click any result to open it in a new tab.

Troubleshooting

The extension doesn't connect to my account Make sure you're using the same email address you registered with on recallio.co.uk. If you recently reset your password, log out of the extension and log in again.

The popup shows a blank screen Try right-clicking the Recallio icon and choosing Reload extension, then clicking the icon again.

The context menu doesn't appear On Firefox, context menu items take a moment to populate after you first log in. Reload the page you're on and try again.
