Just wanna share an add on that I am so delighted with...
Ever wish you could have yellow sticky notes on your desktop?
Not the real ones we have sometimes used, but a simple easy to use small foot print virtual note?
QuickNnote, for Firefox ( and maybe other browsers)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quicknote/?src=ss
little icon on the address bar, pops open instantly, in the form of a yellow sticky, ( you can change the color if ya want)
font sizes, type and color also adjustable..
Note window can be sized
you can have 2 or more note interface options, tho I tend to use just 2.type your note, close the window.
That is it..that is all it does, that is all I need or want it to do.
Lots of other programs but not as simple and bare bones as this, which is a virtue in my eyes.

I have wanted this for so long, I can't tell you. I always have a couple of untitled Notepad notes going on for things I want to remember and later move to other folders and stuff. These sometimes get deleted by mistake so I'm always saying to myself, "I wish there was a virtual sticky note I could keep in sight." Thank you, Mozilla! I just added it but I have to restart my browser before I can check it out. Thank you, grrrrl, for telling us about it. 
click on the little down arrow thing next to the icon, it should drop a menu for "settings" and there you can customize your fonts and colors.
You also have the option of having more than 1 sticky note to write stuff on.
so happy to hear my post was helpful.
