Summary

Send Note to Device allows you to send current URL with text message between your Firefox browsers.

In order to use this add-on you need:

  • Firefox Sync feature - just login to your Firefox account
  • enable "Add-ons" synchronization - in the Firefox Options page ("about:preferences#sync") on the "Sync" tab check "Add-ons" checkbox

WARNING: NO ANDROID! - due to missing "Firefox Sync - addons" feature in "Firefox for Android", this addon cannot work on Android. In the future, I will build custom synchronization service that will allow synchronization between all devices and browsers.

Top features:

  • Send link with message! - do you use "Send Tab to Device" feature? This is similar, but you can include a note with the link!
  • End to End encryption - all transferred data are encrypted thanks to Firefox Sync
  • No need to create additional account - Firefox Sync will handle everything
  • Inbox - history of last 100 received notes
  • Outbox - history of last 100 send notes
  • No Ads!

Limitations of Firefox Sync engine:

  • No Android! Firefox Sync cannot synchronize addons data on Android :(
  • Firefox Sync can handle only 100KB of data - if you try to send VERY long note or many long notes to many devices, it may run out of space and fail. However, when device receives a note, it's removed from Firefox Sync to free up space.
  • No instant messages - sending messages may take some time (it depends on Firefox Sync, usually it takes several minutes) - to trigger synchronization manually, click "Sync Now" in the "Firefox Account" toolbar icon
  • Synchronization conflicts - message can get lost if devices are not synchronized in time. However this should be really rare in real life.

Thanks Juraj for all your work. I've been using this addon for a long time to send me links from one computer to another. But since a month the inbox in one of them is completely blank. Not sure how to fix it. Outbox looks fine. In the meantime I'm using your TabSync Pro addon which is excellent. But I'd love to get this one working again.
