by S K Biswas, 3 years agoDO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION!
With the May 25th Update, i.e., Firefox 113.0.2 (20230522134052), I lost all the previous notes. I am not sure how I can recover the old notes which contained important information. I am not talking about syncing, I have just ONE laptop. I tried everything (including old profile load) to recover the old notes from my laptop, I failed. (EDIT-1: not true, I came to notice multiple "profile folders", and while checking them out one by one, I finally succeeded to restore the old notes. Read Edit - 2).
The github repo has been archived too. In summary, do not use this extension anymore! You may risk losing all your notes anytime.
EDIT -2 : To recover the old notes, first create "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop (Help -> More Troubleshooting Info). Then type "about:profiles" on the URL space, hit enter, create new profile, and point at the "profile folder" (test one by one) inside "Old Firefox Data". Then hit "Launch in a new browser".
Edit-3: updated the rating from 1 to 2. Rating 2 because the notes project is now dead (github repo is archived and Mozilla does not monitor it).

- Rated 5 out of 5by piecevcake, 4 days agoIt's the best I could find. Pastes rich text but not links or images. Well laid out with headings list page clicking to open the edit page and arrow back.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14578170, 10 months agoThe advertised "Sync" feature doesn't work. It was removed at some point in time.
So, at the moment Firefox has not notes or file sharing add-on or functionality.
Otherwise, if you use just your PC, it's a note taking sidebar extension, as advertised.
There is no way to access your notes on mobile phone. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13247613, 10 months agoGood Firefox! Kill every great app. Pocket, notes, and orbit were essential.

- Rated 1 out of 5by mikedoeslife, a year agoHasn't been updated in over five years and can no longer be installed on Android. Clearly not supported anymore, which is a shame as it the sync capability was a great point of difference against Android.

- Rated 4 out of 5by bubbles, a year agoJust added this on - love it already! If there could be some kind of pop up or warning when you go to delete a note -- along the lines of "Are you sure you want to delete this note? This action cannot be undone" -- that would be super helpful. Thanks!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Frozux, a year agoLe mode sombre est bogué, il reste toujours une barre d'outils claire en bas du panneau de l'extension :(. Ça fait mal aux yeux.
The dark mode is bogged, there is always a clear toolbar at the bottom of the extension panel :(. It hurts the eyes. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ramizz, a year ago
