User reviews

Link Password is a useful Firefox add-on praised for encrypting bookmarks and enhancing privacy with a simple interface. However, multiple users report that it frequently fails after Firefox updates, causes irreversible bookmark loss due to decryption issues, and exposes encrypted bookmarks through unmasked protocol messages. Some also note that it only encrypts contents, not folders, and lacks password management features. Overall, it offers valuable security but suffers from stability and compatibility problems that impact reliability.

Pros

Effectively encrypts Firefox bookmarks and bookmark folders to protect privacy.
Easy to use and user-friendly interface.
Provides security by preventing unauthorized access to bookmarks.
Long-term users find it invaluable and very useful.

Cons

Stops working after Firefox updates and has compatibility issues with newer versions.
Encrypted bookmarks sometimes cannot be decrypted, leading to potential data loss.
Encrypted bookmarks reveal to Firefox that they are encrypted due to unmasked protocol messages.
Does not encrypt bookmark folders themselves, only their contents, exposing folder structure.
Inability to change passwords and lack of clear recovery options when issues occur.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Link Password requires very minimum permissions.
