Default I want to block others from looking at my bookmarks..

I use Firefox, and I was wondering if there are any extensions out there that put a password on your bookmarks, that make someone need to put in the password, just to see what my bookmarks are. I'm not going to hide my guilt, by saying I need it for protection.. I just want it so my family members can't see what I want to keep private. I just need something to keep my bookmarks hidden, until I access them. I've already got something that puts a password on my website history, so they can't see that, but I still want something to block my bookmarks.

If you have an answer, can you please PM me?

What I do is install the browser twice, linking only the one you don't use to the start bar...create an alternate icon called something like "Diagnostic Tool Kit"

Brinsons option looks about the best, iv searched high and low but the only thing mozilla has to do with book marks is a google sync addon.
You may have to install the two browsers and then use many tequniques to hide/lock the .exe etc
