Пользуюсь с момента создания и до сих пор. Полезнейшее дополнение.

I 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.
