this trash extension WILL forget your password at a certain point and your bookmarks will become unrecoverable.

no matter how many times you input the right password, it wont work. you may be lucky and not come across this bug, but it may happen at a certain point, just watch

Do NOT use this! It WILL forget your password and all your bookmarks are gone.

The extension lost the password. Had to clear all data and restore a backup that didn't have all the bookmarks in it. Time to look for a more reliable plugin

Works great until it forgets your password. I thought I was being pranked but naw it will just tell you your password is wrong after a random amount of time. There is no way to recover encrypted bookmarks either.

Doesn't work with the latest firefox. No folder created. There is a purple star on the extensions tab but you can't even click on it.

exactly the same problem as many people here. The app is excellent until the password doesn't work and you lost all your bookmarks. For me, it's the second time and I quite.

It's mentionned that you have to make regulary backup but bookmarks are not enough critical to setup a professionnel backup process, we don't want to worry about backup.

Stopped working for me

It works until it doesn't. I found exactly the same as many other reviewers: this add-on has a lot of great features, and it works well... until it doesn't. The Private Bookmarks password fails to work after some time. Twice I used this add-on to save bookmarks... and twice, for no apparent reason, the password is no longer remembered by the extension, so I can't unlock these bookmarks. With that, the bookmarks are gone forever. This is a great concept that unfortunately fails at a critical point.

It worked great for months until it didn't.

I'm not sure what broke it but possibly my MacOS upgrade to 14.6. Suddenly Firefox wouldn't respond to the Shift-Option-8 hotkey, which is where you enter your password.

I tried reinstalling the add-on, rebooting, etc. Unfortunately, it's evident that I also lost all those private bookmarks in the process, which weren't so much private but archived in Private Bookmarks so they wouldn't be accidentally deleted.

I filed a bug report with the developer last week but I haven't received an acknowledgement of it and the bug hasn't been assigned.

不能使用了 打都打不开 麻烦更新插件

This stopped working after the latest FF update. Password does not unlock bookmarks. Broken and abandoned extension by the dev.

It does not seem to work. Firefox 119.0

There may well be a private folder, hidden behind a password on my PC. However, on my linked phone and tablet, the sites are visible, WITH NO PASSWORD!! For anyone to see!!
I urge you not to use this addon

simply stopped working, how to recover?

my password stopped working and i lost everything

my bookmarks got deleted for some reason... I have not used my bookmarks for a long time. Now that i wanted to use them they are all gone. Thank you very much...

BACKUP YOUR BOOKMARKS! I installed this, moved bookmarks into the private bookmarks area, then locked it. Came back the next day and unlocked it only to find all the private bookmarks EMPTY!

I had a backup, but if I hadn't all my private bookmarks would have been lost!

I use Firefox sync, and I read the description before installing and using it too.

The github issue tracker is full of issues and bugs. My advice, avoid, look elsewhere.

DO NOT USE!! No longer updated. It will make private bookmarks visible in synced devices without requiring a password.

Randomly saves bookmarks normally instead of privately

Was amazing but password no longer works! Edit: Lost my password AGAIN ~2 weeks later with my new bookmarks this is stupid! For some reason this time it seems to be because my previous password was under 8 characters, now it's asking for over 8 for some reason. Please fix this atrocity. It also asks for a number now. It's local you morons

I have either forgotten my password or it is no longer working. Needs to add some kind of password recovery system. Why not let it have email as a means of recovery?

Lost encrypted bookmarks, extension not updated anymore, dont use
