Private Bookmarks

Private Bookmarks enables a special password-protected bookmark folder. Your private bookmarks are encrypted with your chosen password. This is not an online service, and you are in control of what data leaves your machine (if at all).

When you unlock your private bookmarks, a new 'Private Bookmarks' folder appears under 'Other Bookmarks'. You can add/remove items to it and when ready, lock it. Whenever an item is added/removed, the contents of the folder are encrypted and stored on your machine. When locked, the folder itself is removed from your browser's bookmarks collection.

By default, Private Bookmarks can only be accessed when in private browsing (to help avoid accidents), however that can be changed via the options page.

Be aware! You should backup your bookmarks periodically to be safe. Also, since I am bound by Firefox regarding what it allows extensions to do, I cannot guarantee complete privacy. Mobile versions of Firefox are not supported because they do not yet allow extensions access to your bookmarks the way desktop versions do.

A note for Firefox Sync users Refrain from switching between devices while your private bookmarks are unlocked. Although personally I wasn't able to reproduce, there have been some reports of Sync getting confused and it may result in a copy of the folder remaining visible on other devices. I recommend unlocking, using, and locking all on the same device. If you encounter these issues, I also advise to trigger a sync from the Firefox menu after every lock so that you're sure the deletion of the folder goes through to your other devices. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Custom folder location and name You can move/rename the folder, and the next time you unlock it will appear in that location and with that name. See more
