When I open Firefox this morning, I found quick note became legacy extension.

I have some important note on my quick note on Firefox.

Any one knows how I can find my previous quick note file? Thanks!

Hi, please try this:

(1) Open your currently active profile folder using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table on the page, click the "Open Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

(2) By default, QuickNote stores your note files in a folder named chrome

Double-click into the chrome folder

(3) By default, QuickNote names your note files quicknote1.txt through quicknote6.txt but if you chose your own names, you may find others here

These files have Linux-style line breaks which run together in Notepad or other very basic programs. You can right-click the file and choose Open With, then selected WordPad or a word processing program.

Does that work?
