    2025-01-22 Dezzer323 this addon is great! has all the features i desire and need! but sadly it does not remember the password i set for it like everyone's saying. AND ALSO i can just remove it easily also i found out. by removing the extension itself from the extensions drop down menu by clicking the cog and clicking "remove extensions" it removes it easily without any effort or password which defeats the purpose of the extension entirely.

    2024-08-18 Firefox user 13908055 This 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.

    2023-11-09 sectorchan configured to block installation of plugins, tried it and it still works to install plugins -> useless
    2023-06-17 McZ Password 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
