Bookmark & Notes Disappear #47

Open mchase1 opened 5 years ago

mchase1 commented 5 years ago

I am using Firefox 61.0.2 with windows 10. I exported my bookmarks to a bookmark.html file. I installed bookmark-notes v1.2.1 and accepted the premision requests. I then imported the bookmark.html file. The descriptions for each bookmark from the bookmarks.html file appeared as notes for their respective bookmark in the new bookmark-note list. This was good. The notes came up when I left clicked the bookmark.

Unportunately, I then closed Firefox and reopened it all the notes were gone. THe only way to get them back was to re-import them from the original bookmark.html file I had exported.

Any suggestion on how to keep the notes without having to re-import each time I open Firefox?

Further if I went to the view menu and selected:

view>sidebar>bookmarks

the old Firefox bookmark list showed up, that's great, but if I then selected:

view>sidebar>bookmark Notes

The bookmark list was empty, no links (and obviously no Notes), I could not even get the bookmark list to appear by re-importing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks mchase

I am using Firefox 66 in Windows 7 64-bit. I have the same problem: Notes is empty each time I open Firefox. I click on Tools> Add-ons. I then click Disable in Bookmark Notes. Then I click Enable> and Notes loads. Very clunky! How do I get Bookmark Notes to initialise whenever I open Firefox? Otherwise it's a really good idea. Thanks

I hadn't before but I now keep Bookmarks opened on the side of Firefox. Whenever I close Firefox I make sure that just plain Bookmarks is selected. When I open Firefox it still shows Bookmarks but I click on Bookmarks and select Bookmark Notes. The notes are there. That is the shortest short-cut I've found :0)
