Recent reviews
Simple GMail Notes is the solution I've been looking for forever. Most of my life is somehow in GMail (sadly). For years, when I've wanted to make sure I recalled why I had or had not taken an action in response to an email, I forwarded the email to myself with my notes. Simple Notes is a far better tool for this purpose. I can drop a note on an email of anything I want to remember about that email and not only is it there when I go back to it, but there is also what is essentially a yellow flag next to the email (actually part of the note) that differentiates these emails from others.
As probably implied, I am not an empty-mailbox kind of user. I also have a busy life and a forgetful nature. I probably retain too much, but I have thousands of emails in my inbox and use search to find and recall communications I want or need to revisit. Having the note remind me of something not explicitly in the message is a life-saver. (Maybe that's a little dramatic, but it feels that way at times.)
My Palm handheld in the early 2000s had this functionality and I've been looking for it every since. The add-on works flawlessly and I like having it saved on my computer rather than in a third-party's server.
Now I need the same thing for my telephone calls.

Is Simple Gmail Notes 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.
Simple Gmail Notes 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.
Simple Gmail Notes is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
