it happen after importing the bookmark from modified html file, it seem when i click the dupes button there seem like there are nothing happen even after i waited for few hour. does bookmarkdupes have a max number of bookmark that it can handle? and i did try to limit the search only the specific folder using expert mode but the result is the same

There should not be any hard limit on the number of bookmarks, and also the speed should normally not decrease considerably. About how many bookmarks we are speaking, roughly? Millions or more?
There might be some implicit bounds, especially if there are millions of dupes.

However, more likely it seems to me that something internally in the bookmark presentation is broken. This might be very hard to debug.

Of course, the might be also bugs in the extension's code, but it is hard to imagine that there is an endless loop hidden. Perhaps switching on the debugger for the application reveals some error which makes it break. Do you use expert mode or something else tricky?

If you want, you can send me your bookmark file, and I can try whether I can reproduce the error. (But be aware that the bookmark file might contain also sensible information.) In any case, I cannot promise that I will be able to reproduce the error even if you send me the file.

the numbers of bookmarks that i want to compared is around 30000
after i try using the debugger "Error: Please use $(ref:runtime.getURL)" is displayed
i did only try using expert mode to filter unrelated folder but the problem still occur

This error message is very strange. It indicates that something might have change in a fundamental API the extension is using. I tried with newest versions of firefox and google-chrome, but could not reproduce it.
Which browser and version are you using?
