Initially for me the Backnote window would not show up no matter how many times I typed the default keyboard shortcut for it. After I changed the keyboard shortcut it started working for me. Handy tool if you need to copy some sections of text from a webpage and don't want to waste time alt-tabbing between two windows to copy paste the text.

It's a pleasant surprise to have a try. You can easily take a brief note of the content of a web page by selecting the content you need several times with the mouse box.

Version 1.0 works. 1.60 seems to not work with Waterfox 56.2.5 (I e-mailed the developer): a) a click on the toolbar icon is non-effective b) keyboard shortcut customisation is non-effective – those two issues, plus conflict with a shortcut for a different extension, make 1.60 unusable for me. Back to 1.0 for me …

Is Backnote Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Backnote requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
