Firefox Scratchpad: Simple Text Editor for Quick Notes

A simple text editor built into Firefox, perfect for jotting down quick notes with basic formatting options and local saving in the browser.

What is Scratchpad?

Scratchpad is a basic text editor that comes pre-installed in the Firefox web browser. It provides a simple interface for taking quick notes or writing down thoughts, code snippets, to-do lists, and more right within the browser.

Some key features of Scratchpad include:

• Real-time syntax highlighting for many programming languages including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and more
• Basic text formatting options like bold, italics, headings, lists, etc.
• Find and replace functionality
• The ability to save content locally on your computer so notes persist between browser sessions
• Support for importing/exporting of files
• Line numbers shown along the editor

As it's built directly into Firefox, Scratchpad provides easy access to a simple editor without having to install or open another program. It's ideal for quick notes, client-side web development/testing, and trying out coding ideas. However, it lacks more advanced features of dedicated text editors and code editors.
