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The github repo has been archived too.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 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14578170, 2 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, 3 months agoGood Firefox! Kill every great app. Pocket, notes, and orbit were essential.

- Rated 1 out of 5by mikedoeslife, 5 months 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, 5 months 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, 7 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 Ramizz, 7 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Taha, 10 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.
