Summary
Private Notes allows you to write password-protected, fully encrypted notes. Your notes can be synchronized with encrypted (again!) Firefox Sync. engine with other devices. Ideal for storing the most sensitive information, like Recovery codes, Wi-Fi passwords, server configs, etc...
Privacy and permissions:
- There are no permissions - this addon can't make any remote requests or submit any data!
- All data are always encrypted and then synchronized by Firefox build-in End-to-End encrypted "Firefox Sync" engine (yes, data are double encrypted!).
- Your password is NOT stored at all. It's hashed using advanced PBKDF2 function with 100k iterations and strong salt.
- Unlocked notes and decryption keys are never stored on drive - they stay in the system RAM memory (not accessible by any other app and cleared when browser is closed).
- Even if someone gains physical access to your PC, he won't be able to access your notes nor password. This is one of the safest place ever created!
Top features:

Awesome add-on.
Works flawlessly
Cons:
auto backups, rich text editor,

Suggestions for more features:
1. Ability to create folders
2. Ability to autosave backups in custom locations
3. Search in notes
