It would be nice to have a way to password-protect a certain folders (or links)
inside the bookmarks menu. Alternatively it would be nice to hide certain
bookmarks and only see them after having "unlocked" them with a password.
This would be useful to not let friends or family members access certain
restricted bookmarks or even see them in the Bookmarks menu. This is especially
useful when the computer is not used by a single person.

Thank you,

this may be something for an extension because it is unlikely something the
everage user would ever use

wontfix ?

Unless we start encrypting bookmarks, this is useless, and since we're not going
to do that for a myriad of reasons, this is a WONTFIX.

The goal is not to encrypt the bookmarks, i am not asking for this, i already
have my whole HD encrypted so this would be useless to me... the problem is that
when someone comes over and begins to use my computer for their internet
browsing very frequently they begin to browse through the bookmark's menu. There
are some items/links in that menu that i would prefer to keep private, so the
goal is simply to "hide" them (hide them in the Bookmarks menu unless i type the
correct password), not to use strong encryption or anything like that. No one
will come and "steal" my bookmarks (this is why bookmark's encryption is
useless... at least to me).

I believe that this would be useful to others too, not just me. This is why i
used bugzilla to ask for this feature. 
Even an extension would do the job fine, but where can i find some
"extensions-developers" that might be interested in this kind of project?

Thank you,
