- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13930952, a year agoI really like this add-on and consider it invaluable. Easily and effortlessly encrypts/decrypts FF bookmarks. However, I'd like to make a feature request - the ability to prevent bookmarks after being encrypted from showing up as needing Link-Password when you try to open them or use the FF bookmark manager. Right now I get the tell tale message when I try to open an encrypted bookmark "The address wasn’t understood: One of the following (ext linkpassword) is not a registered protocol or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address." which reveals it's an encrypted bookmark using something called "Link Password." Would like to see that masked somehow.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14958957, 6 years agoEasy to use and very useful. The only thing that made me give a 4 star out of 5 is than even when you lock a bookmark folder, you can see what are the links inside.
It would have been better if there was a password when you try top open the folder, not when you want to open the links in it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14030023, 7 years agoThis addion is good for use.But if I forget my password, how do I retrieve the password? Another way is to repeat the overlay and set the password. If someone uses my Firefox account to set up another password, what do I do?

Password is always set when you encrypt bookmarks and can be different for different bookmarks, you can even encrypt already encrypted bookmarks if you want.
If you forget you password, it is no easy way to restore the bookmarks since the bookmarks is encrypted with a secure encryption algorithm, probable most easy way is to try and try with different password until you remember the correct one. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5661722, 7 years agoLink-password has worked fine for a long time, but suddenly stopped being available when a right click is make, even though it is listed as an active Add-on. I have tried to re-install, but I cannot do so because the page to download says you must download Firefox first. But this is not necessary as Firefox remains installed and up-to-date. Advice on how to install Link-password much appreciated.

It is a bit hard to know exactly what has happen for you, if you com back with more info (firefox version and Link Password version) we give you more help.
My guss is you have upgrade the addons or Firefox, since Firefox version 57 I have rewrite the addons and some functionality has be moved to new locations (see screenshots).
If you running a older version of Firefox (before 57) please install version "Version 4.0.1.0.1-signed.1-signed"
