How to use CannaNote offline in Firefox, manage cached data, and install as an app.

Firefox Offline Guide

Firefox offers strong privacy defaults and full support for CannaNote's offline features.

Installing CannaNote

Firefox supports installing web apps:

Firefox-Specific Notes

Enhanced Tracking Protection

Firefox's privacy features don't interfere with CannaNote because:

  • We don't use third-party trackers
  • All data storage is first-party
  • No cross-site cookies

Private Browsing

CannaNote works in private windows, but:

  • Data is deleted when you close the window
  • Not recommended for regular journaling
  • Use normal browsing for persistent storage

Firefox Containers

If you use Multi-Account Containers:

  • Each container has separate storage
  • Your journal data stays in the container where you created it
  • Stick to one container for CannaNote
