User reviews

This is probably my most used extension, but I noticed there was a change after one of the updates. I was able to edit the title of the links before, which was a useful feature, but later this feature went away. Can you add this again? I often save sites in different languages, and I would love to make my own notes to the link so I remember what they are.
