by Person, 7 years agoThis extension can easily be deleted by going to ~/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/PROFILE/extensions/ on mac, and deleting the extension. And if you are thinking about telling me to set it to read only, you can boot the computer in single-user mode and restart the setup process, to create and administrator account to delete the file.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13908055, 3 months agoThis addon was recommended as a way to prevent a user from deleting the history but it would seem it doesn't do that anymore. Additionally it would not unlock, even with the correct password, and I had to manually remove the addon to get access back to my settings.

- Rated 1 out of 5by sectorchan, a year agoconfigured to block installation of plugins, tried it and it still works to install plugins -> useless
- Rated 1 out of 5by McZ, a year agoPassword screen freezes once you enter your pw. I thought I'd locked myself out... but actually you can remove it by clicking on the gear symbol next to the extension - which isn't of course something you should be able to do if the plugin worked as it should

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ocean, 2 years agoAs now FF 104.0.2 , this extension doesn't do anything useful...It doesn't block any downloads nor bookmarks
- Rated 1 out of 5by Alepou, 2 years agoDownloads not exist but the worst is the password. If I use a password never open

- Rated 1 out of 5by Pat ROUMI, 3 years agoLe module est censé interdire l'accès aux paramètres et ca ne fonctionne pas. J'ai bien renseigné le module et mis un mot de passe mais rein n'y fait et si je veux aller supprimer l'extension le mot de passe est rendu obligatoire mais refuse celui que j'ai renseigné !!!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by JD, 3 years agoAbsolute junk, I should have read the 1 star reviews before installing. Firstly, does not prevent removing extensions by right clicking them on the toolbar and hitting remove. Most importantly, does not accept the password you set, making it impossible to access the add-ons page to change the settings for this extension or remove it if it's not in the toolbar.
The safemode guide by the developer DOES NOT WORK for removing this extension. I had to go to Firefox Menu>Help>Troubleshooting Mode in order to remove it. - Rated 1 out of 5by Peter Vesic, 4 years agoAs soon as I start Firefox with this add-on it keeps trying to make a TCP connection to static.237.48.201.138.clients.your-server.de:https (IP address --> 138.201.48.237) every minute.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Rhdr, 4 years agoThe password continue button is broken and it wont proceed to check the password and navigate to options. As a result the user can not access his/her options without having to access Firefox's safe mode and removing/disabling this extension. However you still have the ability to lock your settings as claimed...

- Rated 1 out of 5by wirelessdreamer, 4 years agodoesn't accept the password to unlock, makes it useless

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13912688, 4 years agoThe extension no longer accepts passwords. Most likely it has to do with new firefox update. You enter correct password and instead going to the page you intend(i.e. addons) you get password page again.
I'll also raise an issue on Github - Rated 4 out of 5by Zander_Zion25, 4 years agoSadly, today july 29, 2020 firefox updated the browser and this add on is broken now miserable, it won't accept the password you set on new version of firefox :(
