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The github repo has been archived too.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).
