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 No longer updated.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

Does not work! Puts the bookmarks outside the private folder! Stupid min. password length (this is local, so put user in charge of how many chars their password is.

don't work. i can't find "Private Bookmarks"

The issue is that there's often a lag between opening Firefox and the extension loading, so for a few moments the private folder (and sometimes its content) is visible in Firefox's bookmarks sidebar, rendering the extension practically useless.

Doesn't work on Firefox Developer 91.0b8. I checked the github page to submit an issue, but it seems like the project is dead and the developer is no longer responding to issues... I don't think this should have the "Recommended" tag as it's no longer being maintained.

changed password without user confirmation, lost data. backup bookmarks or they will be lost. doesnt actually work after a while. 5star reviewers lie or gave 5 stars too early.

After a Firefox update, my password doesn't work anymore. It seems this happened to other people too. The addon hasn't been updated in two years so I don't recommend using it. If you do use it you should regulary export your private bookmarks as plain text file
