by S K Biswas, 2 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The github repo has been archived too.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 1 out of 5by mikedoeslife, a month 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 month 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, 3 months 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 Firefox user 13529995, 3 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Taha, 6 months agoThis is nice, but I wish it respected the theme colors. My entire browser is a particular color and other sidebar addons are that color are well. This one addon does not respect my theme and is pure white.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Heristian, 6 months agoPlease, would you please just let it back, I'm not require a synchronizing service, just hope that you can add a bit support to Markdown Syntax Feature like, table, which is quite helpful when the case I study was about Comparison...
It's really good to take notes!! Undistracted when I was Reading a PDF file! - Rated 4 out of 5by nim, 6 months agoReally good extension! Simple and practical, that's what I need. They also listened to the user comments and added a dark mode, it seems, unless it was there all along and difficult to actually access (I discovered it by accident). Another important thing that I have seen no extension do before which I need: Please keep an option to auto pause videos while I'm typing and play as soon as I stop! That would be so useful while taking notes for online courses! That's all, thanks.
(edit: oh, it's not an active project anymore :/) - Rated 5 out of 5by sajid, 7 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Tohid, 10 months agoSadly this project is no longer maintained. It's sync feature is no longer available(though the default note for new installs says it can be activated).
With a few more features(folders, tags, note colors, sync) this plugin could greatly improve firefox user experience. - Rated 1 out of 5by Нчала, a year agoThis notes feature is a perfect example of Mozilla products. Half baked and Dated. Vivaldi says you couldn't even match a fraction of their power. How could this extension not have a dark mode?? How? It's time that the forks like Floorp produce a dedicated extension store for QUALITY extensions.
