User reviews

Notefox is praised as a reliable and well-made Firefox add-on for taking notes attached to websites, with helpful developer support and useful features like domain-wide notes and mobile compatibility. However, multiple users report that notes do not visibly appear on pages, causing forgetfulness about existing notes. Other common issues include poor color contrast affecting readability, cursor jumping problems during typing, lack of automatic synchronization across devices, and instability when using it on sites with media playback. Users desire more customization options such as tagging, color themes, sidebar notes, and contextual menu access.

Pros

Works well as described and is practical for taking website-specific notes.
Unique and effective notes extension that functions reliably compared to others.
Developer is responsive and provides quick assistance to users.
Allows associating notes with domains or subdirectories, enabling organized note management across related pages.
Compatible with Firefox for Android and supports multilingual input (except some input issues).

Cons

Lack of visible indication on webpages that a note exists, making it hard to remember notes without opening the extension.
Color contrast issues in the note themes affecting readability.
Cursor/keyboard focus issues where the cursor jumps to the start when typing or after pressing Enter.
No automatic synchronization feature to sync notes across devices.
Addon window may close or cursor resets when taking notes on video/audio playing websites, reducing usability in those contexts.

Works well as described. Wish there will be tagging/label option and more optional/customisable colours theme than in the future.

Extension safety

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.

Notefox: websites notes requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
