Whether to use per-domain or per-URL site notes.
Example:

  • When set to URL, developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions and developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML return different notes.
  • When set to domain, developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions and developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML return the same notes (mozilla.org).

Default: Domain

Site Notes in Private Browsing

Whether to allow site notes in private windows. Falls back to general notes if set to disable.
Default: Disable

Subdomains Mode

Whether to ignore (whitelist) or enforce (blacklist) subdomains. Does nothing if Site Mode is set to URL.
Setting this to whitelist will make Site Notes ignore subdomains unless the domain is listed in the Ignore/Enforce Subdomains option.
The opposite is true for blacklist.
Example:

  • When set to whitelist, addons.mozilla.org and developer.mozilla.org will return the same notes (mozilla.org).
  • When set to blacklist, addons.mozilla.org and developer.mozilla.org will return different notes.
    Default: Blacklist

Ignore/Enforce Subdomains

A list of domains (separated by spaces) to whitelist or blacklist subdomains on. Blacklisting or Whitelisting depends on the Subdomains Mode option.
Example:

  • When set to whitelist and mozilla.org is in the list, addons.mozilla.org and developer.mozilla.org will return different notes.

Notification Badge

Whether or not to show a badge on the toolbar icon. There are 4 modes.

  1. Disabled will make the badge never appear.
  2. Enabled will make a ! appear on the icon on the icon for sites that have a note.
  3. Bullets will count the number of lines starting with a bullet (see Bullet Types) and display that number in the badge. If a note doesn't contain a bullet, there will be no badge.
  4. Enabled + Bullets will make a ! appear on the icon on the icon for sites that have a note unless there are bullets in the note. If there are bullets, the number of lines starting with a bullet will be displayed on the badge.

A space separated list of bullets to detect in notes. No effect unless Notification Badge is set to Bullets or Enabled + Bullets.
Default: * + -

URL Parameters In Site Notes

URL parameters to include in per-URL notes. Separated by spaces.

In a URL, everything after the ? is a parameter. They are formatted like this: ?param1=value1&param2=value2&...
This option takes parameters (ex param1, param2) to whitelist in URL notes.

A YouTube video URL looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ.
The parameter, v, designates which video you are on, and without it every YouTube video would be assigned to the note www.youtube.com/watch. Having v in the parameters allows each video to have its own note.
A different parameter, for example, the t in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=108s, will not appear in the notes unless it is also whitelisted in this option.

q is the parameter for search terms on most search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.), so it allows different searches to have their own notes.

Default: q v

Direction of text in text area.
