BrowLighter lets you capture highlighted text and image bookmarks from any page, save them in Firefox Sync, and revisit them later from a compact side drawer. Search saved notes, export or import your library, copy source links, and keep lightweight research notes without leaving the page.

BrowLighter is a lightweight in-browser note and bookmark tool for Firefox. It is designed for reading, research, reference gathering, and quick capture while you browse.

What it does:

• Save highlighted text directly from the current page
• Bookmark images from a page for later reference
• Store saved notes and bookmarks in Firefox Sync so they follow your Firefox
  account
• Open saved items later and jump back to their source pages
• Search your saved notes by text, page title, or URL
• Export your saved library as JSON
• Import previously exported notes
• Copy saved source links for reuse outside the extension

How it works:

• Open the BrowLighter drawer from the Firefox toolbar button
• Highlight text on a page or capture a selection into the drawer
• Right-click and select 'Save selected text locally' to save the pending item into your synced note library
• Revisit, export, delete, or search saved items from the Notes tab

Why it is useful:
BrowLighter is built for people who want fast capture without a heavy note-taking
workflow. It keeps the browsing context intact and makes it easy to collect short
excerpts, page references, and image bookmarks while staying focused on the page
you are reading.

Data and permissions:
BrowLighter uses Firefox storage to save your note library and uses Firefox Sync to
keep saved items available across signed-in Firefox sessions. It needs access to
page context so it can capture highlighted text and bookmarked images from the
sites you visit.
