create shortcut for firefox private browsing

If you have selected the 'auto-lock when idle' option Private Bookmarks auto-locks once the system's been idle for a user-specified amount of time.If you have selected the 'disable outside of private browsing' option (it is on by default) Private Bookmarks auto-locks when the last private window is closed.There are a few cases where the extension auto locks your private bookmarks: You can move/rename the folder, and the next time you unlock it will appear in that location and with that name. 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. I recommend unlocking, using, and locking all on the same device. 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. Refrain from switching between devices while your private bookmarks are unlocked. Mobile versions of Firefox are not supported because they do not yet allow extensions access to your bookmarks the way desktop versions do. Also, since I am bound by Firefox regarding what it allows extensions to do, I cannot guarantee complete privacy. You should backup your bookmarks periodically to be safe. When locked, the folder itself is removed from your browser's bookmarks collection.īy default, Private Bookmarks can only be accessed when in private browsing (to help avoid accidents), however that can be changed via the options page. Whenever an item is added/removed, the contents of the folder are encrypted and stored on your machine. You can add/remove items to it and when ready, lock it. When you unlock your private bookmarks, a new 'Private Bookmarks' folder appears under 'Other Bookmarks'. This is not an online service, and you are in control of what data leaves your machine (if at all). Your private bookmarks are encrypted with your chosen password. Private Bookmarks enables a special password-protected bookmark folder.
