  • tkdan235, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2omg I HATE this bug! I has honsetly been making me start thinking of using a different browser. In fact... I load up IE whenever I need to do some copy and pasting.... ugh....

    update: I just tried to copy the URL to send to a friend in Firefox, and behold, it didnt copy! AARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
  • therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Whenever this happened, I had to manually back into QuickNote. Works everytime but it is too time consuming.
  • Evil-Dragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Finally! Download links are included on the link.

    Only took 4 years...

    Be Aware, this is a trunk build. Not final (under Minefield Firefox test builds)
