1211849 2011-06-25 00:29:00 I've just installed Firefox v5, and find one of my essential add-ons- QUICKNOTE - is not there because it is not yet compatible with FF5.( If I'd have known this, i wd have stuck with FF4 meantime.)
Hopefully the add-on will be updated to work with FF5 soon but meantime i wd like to get my notes on QuickNote back (they are saved whenever FF is closed).
Any ideas where i might find them? Or maybe i shd uninstall FF5 and re-install FF4 so as to return a version of FF that the add-on will work with.

1211850 2011-06-25 00:32:00 Have you tried the addons to see if they still work ?

One of my workshop PC's just updated and I got the message the video downloader is not compatible, yet it still works perfectly

What version of windows do you have ? if you have W7, that has sticky notes, if they will do.
Other wise if you have to have them, either wait till a new add on comes out, or uninstall V5 and go back to V4

I think I will just stay with IE9.

1211852 2011-06-25 00:36:00 Well I wouldnt go back to FF4, since it will no longer be updated. So, you'll be stuck with 4.01 forever Speedy Gonzales (78)
1211853 2011-06-26 00:08:00 The other option would be to roll back to FF 3.6.x I think 3.6 is still being supported with updates for the time being. (3.5 is not however). Go here: www.mozilla.com catspyjamas (15614)
1211854 2011-06-30 04:20:00 thanks to all.
i was abt to take some of the suggested action last nite but thought i'd try one more time to see whether the QuickNote add-on had been updated to work with FF5. And Voila, there it was. Even beter news, when i installed the update, it gave me all my previous notes back! Sometimes it pays to be patient?
