by Steve, a month agoIt 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.

- Rated 2 out of 5by RH, 5 days agoIt 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. In my case, I observed a lengthy operation on Firefox's part (as Firefox is wont to do). That operation never let go... and Firefox crashed. On restart of Firefox, the Private Bookmarks password failed to work. Another restart, still no working password. As great as this add-on is, it has code that allows passwords and user access to get lost -> quite commonly, from all the reviews here. I highly recommend it, but only if you're using it for temporary or short-term bookmarks; it's simply not reliable enough for long-term use.

- Rated 2 out of 5by PeterCPH, 5 months agoI have used this addon for 4-5 years without a hazzle. But this morning it stopped accepted my password... Luckily I make weekly backups of the mozilla folder so I still have access to my hidden links.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Толстяк, a year agoHey Danny Champ, you're a fool. Addons don't have access to your Mozilla Firefox profile. "Private Bookmarks" only puts your passwords locally on one device! )))
- Rated 1 out of 5by Danny Champ, a year agoThere 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 - Rated 5 out of 5by iJ, a year ago
