by Firefox user 13079211, 8 years agoI managed to install it and make it work perfectly on FF55.0b6 (64 bit)
I really like it and it does what i wanted and needed. It's really useful.
The problem with the installation disappeared when i did upgrade to 55 version. The log in issue was cause the add on need to open a new window to make the process to work.. I am used to have ff blocket to single window, but that way it was opening a new tab and wasn't working
The saving problem was cause of the cookies...needed to add an exeption to allow the add on to work cause i usually block all the cookies.
Guess all the struggles are cause of the change to webextensions.
I'm having same problem as i read from another user. When i try to install new version i get message that the file is corrupted..
Tried to delete all the "extension files" in profile folder..just messed up everything but stil same.
Tried to install it in safe mode, same.
Tried to copy the xpi file in the extension folder of the profile and it gets deleted..
But i'm running ff 54.0b13,,so i don't complain about..just wanted to report
**Update
Tried to install it on same machine and same profile with FF 53 stable..and it works..so i doubt it's antivirus or it would be blocked on both cases...
In my case it's something about FF 54..if i put the install.rdf file in the xpi before install it...it seems to install...but it stops working..
By the way...even if i manage to install it on ff 53 stable, can't granted the app access to google drive.
***Update
Managed to install and log in...but looks like settings don't work at all.. I wanna move it on sidebar but i can't even though on settings i chose to.
****Update
Installed new version from website, everything seems to work, just not saving abstract note colors, like on old version

posted 8 years agohi,
I am really sorry about that. pls note that the new version (1.0.0.8) was finally approved yesterday. pls just install the addon from the firefox addon market: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-gmail-notes/
(I still suspect the problem was related with anti-virus software, while I could install from FF directly, I would get warning and file intercepted by Windows Defender if I try to DOWNLOAD the extension file to my local machine)
** update
It seems that I could not get the notification by the message update here.
I have updated the support link of the extension (https://www.bart.com.hk/#ContactUs-section) so you could send out the bug report more easily.
Btw, a new version of 1.1.0.2 was just approved today, thanks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15503656, 3 months agoA must have every time I start on a new computer. Attaching notes to email messages simplifies tracking important messages.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16995320, a year agoI liked this a lot when I first started using. However, it just keeps asking me to log in to drive and when I try to do so , It get"something went wrong"message. BTW I have tried using this extension without first being logged in and still get the same crap. Waste of my time. Lost all of the notes had previously. Tried in both latest vgersions of FF and Chrome.
- Rated 1 out of 5by BRUCE TYLER, a year agoSo frustrating -- I simply cannot get this thing to work consistantly. I am a subscriber but the extension doesn't let me enter my email address that I used to subscribe. I log into the developer website that shows I'm a subscriber and the extension still does not update. I am logged into Google Drive and it STILL DOESN'T WORK. This has gone on for years. If There were another easy way to keep notes I would dump this extension like an old car,.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tag, 4 years agoAfter a year, added large display advertising to individual emails in my inbox. Without asking. This extension is used to add a "notes" field to every email in Gmail. I know it is this extension but it is adding 2 advertisements for their products: Trying to get me to subscribe to the pro version and also another extension they make called Simple CRM.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12897888, 5 years agoI am so very happy I have discovered this. I have no idea whether it is going to be buggy, etc - what I do know is that it finally allows me to master my inbox, showing me notes on top of subject lines WITHOUT MY NEEDING TO OPEN MAIL! So easy and convenient.

posted 5 years agohi, I wonder what's the error message u saw? I use both FF and Chrome every day actually, it seems worked fine in my place. - Rated 5 out of 5by onceplusFirefox, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15121457, 6 years agoThis is by far the best extension I have used for this. I use it constantly and will even pay for it if I needed to. Under active development which means that any bugs get fixed quickly.
