Please turn off your Caps Lock. In text talk, this is shouting.


I know how you feel. I stopped updating Firefox at v54 because I would have lost many valuable and important add-ons.

Here are your choices; 1) Contact its support and ask if they will update 2) Find a replacement 3) Downgrade to a prior Firefox 4) Do without

Hi epiphany247,

'Been searching for the add-on 'Openote' that you mention (no, not 'OneNote') - it's not on Mozilla's Add-ons page .....

But then I noticed in your system details that you have this add-on installed :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickfox-notes/

and when I scrolled down under 'About this extension' ....... I found this under 'Browser independent extension ':

http://openote-ii.sourceforge.net/wordpress/

Could that be it  ?

tyvm happy; im sure that is it; but when i found it, i went about the stupid business of follwing the directions best i could and by complete surprise i managed to get it. But happy, i have absolutely no clue how i did it; and im not kidding. so, although i do see that it says openote and i did put it there accidentally but deliberately, i have no idea what to do with ur fantastic and so appreciated answer. what happened after i got it on my computer, LG did an update and when it came back on my openote was gone from being pinned on my taskbar; but i also had it on my desktop but when i clicked on it, my woes began and i have been at this for hours and hours and i am the tiredest peep ....... the following are the error messages i got when i right clicked and went in openote Properties; which of course i am clueless aaarrrggghhh tytyty happy and if u can go from here and help me understand how i can obtain openote permanently, that is the goal that i have to get done before firefox gets any worse [bad firefox]

Dear epiphany247, just a stab in the dark, but if that 'Openote' can't be found on your system (Windows Control Panel) - maybe you could download it again from here :

https://sourceforge.net/projects/openote-ii/files/

Unless somebody else has a better idea .......

'Sure hope that you're feeling better now  ! (?)

I'm going to be quite honest with you (always the best policy, right  ?) :

All of this is way over my head and I'm not going to give you anymore 'advice' that might get you into even more trouble. I'm sure that a fellow contributor, with better working braincells than mine, will come to your rescue - so just hang in there, okay  ?

Hi epiphany247, the download is a ZIP archive. You should extract it to its own folder (Openote folder) then inside is the openote.exe program file.

The program doesn't appear to have been updated for over 5 years, and uses some old Mozilla technology (XULRunner from 2012) that might not be working any more. I guess you'll find out!

I think the most important issue is to make sure your notes saved in Firefox (in bookmarks, a database, or in individual text files in your profile folder) can be read by whatever new note-taking application you end up using. I didn't see a "how to" for extracting your data on the extension's support page, but there are some hints.
