I appreciate a Microsoft Guru giving tips on how to make firefox better. This is excellent PR for your company.

I, too, hope that the plugin gets updated so that I can use it (I have never used the send to ON plugins cause I don't use IE).

I'd love to see an update to this too. I've been using ON2007 since the TR Beta and love it. I can't wait for good Firefox integration with ON07! You guys had done a great job developing it and I hope it's in the next beta refresh or something.

At the same time, the print function works superbly. Initially I was frustrated that it printed to the currently open page in ON, instead of to either unsorted notes, or, like the old ON2003 Outlook plug-in, to the folder of your choice.

As I've gotten used to it, however, I like it more. It's fast and it prints exactly where I want it. As you add this functionality to a Firefox plug-in I'd encourage you to give the users the same kind of flexibility.

Great work and love the blog.

I generally run FireFox with the Nightly Tester Tools installed: http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/nightly/index.html

Those have a little feature that allows you to make any extension compatible irrespective of the max version tag.

This is great! I am considering integrating math capabilities into OneNote. The method described in this blog looks like a great solution -- yet, is there a way to do in-page positioning of the clipboard content that is pasted into OneNote?

Thanks a lot!

Please notify me if you reply me via comtech.usa@gmail.com

I am happy I found this extension. It was getting old pasting a URL into IE just to send a clip to OneNote 2007.

The formatting and appearance of a clip from IE is still better than from Firefox. I hope the FE extension is updated over time to match the end results of the IE solution.

Ranga - I would encourage you to email the author of the extension, you can get that information here: http://www.freewebs.com/onenote/.

I also believe there are extensions which allow you to change the max version of any extension so this will continue to work.

Finally you can download this extension, open the file (it's a zip file) and then change the version info in the rdf file. A bit more complicated but it works (and that is what I do).

There is an add-on for FireFox called "FoxNotes" that enables clips and associated URL data to be pasted into OneNote in the same manner as IE. It features other notetaking features as well.

I mailed the author but he didn´t replied yet.

Could someone here please tell what I have to edit in the file?

I changed the version numbers like above told but Firefox told me that there was a problem in the chroma registry...

Thank you!

I use One Note everyday and have had trouble with my IE since an automatic update, forcing me to use Firefox until I have time to troubleshoot IE.

This extension is great! One Note is one of my favorite programs, money well spent!

Thanks for the great post and the superb advice!

The extension does actually work on later versions, the installer just has a bad check. If you find it useful, you can go to the site, download the extension (right click and save the .xpi file). Unzip the .xpi file with any zip program, and look at the file named install.rdf. Change the em:maxVersion tag to be something greater than your firefox version, rezip, and install the extension locally. Seems to be working for me.

I too am looking for a plug in to send page data to OneNote 2007.

re: Clip to OneNote from Firefox – Easy to create your own powertoy

Julian — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:18:26 GMT

This plugin can also work with Firefox 2 and OneNote 2007. The trick is:

download plugin

rename clipnote.xpi to clipnote.xpi.zip

open it and extract file install.rdf

open extracted install.rdf using notepad

change <em:maxVersion>1.5</em:maxVersion>

to e.g. <em:maxVersion>2.5</em:maxVersion>

save file to zip (overwriting existing copy)

undo renaming

install clipnote.xpi to firefox 2

it worked great, more clearly

This plugin can also work with Firefox 2 and OneNote 2007. The trick is:

rename clipnote.xpi to clipnote.xpi.zip

open it and extract file install.rdf

open extracted install.rdf using notepad

to e.g. <em:maxVersion>2.5</em:maxVersion>

save file to zip (overwriting existing copy)

undo renaming (This was tricky, you need to do it from command prompt using ren clipnote.xpi.zip clipnote.xpi)

to install I opened file from fireforx file and automatically addons box came up. And it worked !

Peter Norman — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 01:11:20 GMT

Clip to Onenote doesn't work automatically with FireFox 3 beta 3 or beta 4 - Firefox complains that it can't install clip to onenote due to the fact that the extension doesn't support secure updates.

Has anyone found a solution to this? The fix for getting Clip to onenote to install on FireFox versions greater than 1.0 or 1.5 does not resolve this new 'security' problem.

Many thanks!

I really appreciate this forum. I couldnt work out where the add on was downloaded, but I found this extension that should do the job nicely. It's veen voted "one of the top ten firefox extensions along with tab mix plus. You can find it by seek extensions, search for MR Tech Local Install 5.3.2.6 - or

Update. Yesterday I installed MR Tech Local Install 5.3.2.6. Very good utility. I then downloaded Clip to One Note, which previously hadnt been succesful because it wasnt compatible with Firefox 2. MR Tech first asked if I wanted to cancel the installation delay. I clicked No. Next it asked if I wanted to bypass the version check. I said yes. The install took less than a second. Now, when you select a portion or all of a web page, and choose "clip to OneNote" from the context menu, all you have to do is Open a page in One Note and Paste in the clip. The site url is added at the end. Wonderful for OneNote users.

I just installed OneNote 2007. Step1: I started OneNot2007. Step2: I used the key combination: Windows + S. Immediately the Firefox screen dimmed and I was able to select an area that was copied to OneNote 2007 immediately. [I am not sure that the URL was copied.] Accordingly, is this FireFox add-on still needed? Or am I missing some of its purposes?

Re CA Handly

If you highlight what you want to clip, then rt click to One Note the URL is captured as well. Well, it does for me.

It will also clip pictures and more.

I find the easiest way without any plug-in or extension and from any windows program is to select file/print then select printer "Send to OneNote 2007" from the drop down printer name.

I have found the solution to install the extension.

To avoid the problem about secure updates, just follow the steps, that were written aleady but with little addition:

his plugin can also work with Firefox 2 and OneNote 2007. The trick is:

download plugin

rename clipnote.xpi to clipnote.xpi.zip

open it and extract file install.rdf

open extracted install.rdf using notepad

change <em:maxVersion>1.5</em:maxVersion>

to e.g. <em:maxVersion>3.5</em:maxVersion>

delete the line

<em:updateURL>http://www.freewebs.com/onenote/update.rdf</em:updateURL>

save file to zip (overwriting existing copy)

undo renaming (This was tricky, you need to do it from command prompt using ren clipnote.xpi.zip clipnote.xpi)

to install I opened file from fireforx file and automatically addons box came up. And it worked !
