User Reviews

Users like the add‑on’s simplicity, sidebar integration and convenience for quick notes. Major complaints center on unreliable saving (lost notes), lack of multi‑note management, limited formatting/export features, and confusing options/discovery of settings.

Pros

Simple, minimal interface that’s great for quick jotting of notes and links
Integrates with the browser sidebar (left side) for easy access while browsing
Aesthetic and unobtrusive —many users say it “does what it says” and is pleasant to use
Lightweight and convenient for transferring quick notes to other tools (Obsidian, etc.)

Cons

Unreliable saving — multiple reports of notes disappearing/deleting and no easy recovery
No obvious multi-note or multi-page management (users want tabs or multiple notebooks)
Limited features: lacks formatting options, export tools, and some advertised features are hard to find
Settings/options and feature discovery can be confusing — users didn’t always find Options or where notes are stored

This extension is great, but can you add a tool that can edit or choose specific language spelling? That will be more great. Anyway, thanks.

It would be great if the extension didn't require permissions to access website content through script injection (for parsing). There are notepads that allow you to copy text from a page in the context menu, and they don't require permissions. Like Simple Notes by Firefox user 13383197. Cool notepad!

Is Note Sidebar for Firefox 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.

Note Sidebar for Firefox does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Note Sidebar for Firefox is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
