There might have been problems with the extension, but I emailed the developer and they are probably fixed now in version 5.2 that was released on Jan 19, 2025. If you encounter any more problems, just contact the developer. He seems like a nice guy.

This Extension doesn't work. Don't use it until they fix it.

I saw a post from someone thinking the extension does not work. I initially thought so as well, however found that you have to open the extension itself. From within the extension app window, it gives you a list of your bookmarks. That is where you can right-click etc. Hopefully this helps anyone else who starts out by right clicking their actual bookmarks instead of opening the app, then selecting the bookmarks from there.
