I tried to register at "http://quickfoxnotes.sourceforge.net/forum" to report this bug, but got this error:

General Error
Could not open socket
Please notify the board administrator or webmaster: inb.cor@gmail.com

So consider yourself notified.

Meanwhile, the bug:

I use the All-In-One sidebar to view my add-ons. I click on the Options button as displayed in the sidebar for the Quickfox Notes add-on version 2.8.1.

When Quickfox Notes is the only tab open, and I click on the Options button, Firefox exits. It doesn't crash, there's no "Tell Mozilla about it" window. It just disappears.

When Quickfox Notes is not the only tab open, after I click on the Options button, the Quickfox Notes tab disappears and a smaller Quickfox Notes window opens with the "Tools" drop-down menu already visible. This is what is supposed to happen.


My Firefox is set up to not close when the last tab is closed. When I click the Option button, it looks as though the Quickfox Notes tab is closed and this causes Firefox to exit. It shouldn't.

This bug happens on both my desktop and my laptop - exactly the same problem in the same circumstances.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.8.1.1-signed.1-signed).

OK, the add-on works fine, but can you please make up your mind what you are calling it?

i.e. "QuickFox Notes" as in the Tools/Addons list, or

"Notepad (QuickFox) as in this web page?

And whatever you decide, can you please name the XPI file the same? You recently changed it from "quickfox_notes-2.8.0" to "notepad_quickfox-2.8.1".

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.8.1.1-signed.1-signed).
