Surely you can download the extension from a mirror and install it manually(ie the "old fashioned way")?

The first layoff is always the worst. You'll treat future gigs as transactional and be better for it. The younger you're laid off the sooner you'll learn this.

Fond memories. Look up also Crimson Editor from the same period, great editor.

You might take a look at [SciTE](https://scintilla.org/SciTE.html), a light weight wrapper around Scintilla, with lua scripting support. It’s been my non-IDE editor for years on Windows and Linux…
I love SciTE but it feels like a technical demo compared to Npp.

J2ME is an unprecise term. I'd guess they mean J2ME/MIDP. The other profiles did even fly less probably.
I remember from the early 2000s you could get railway time tables from the German railways for your selected pair of stations as a midlet. That was truly useful.
I also used a mobile browser frontend. The data was rendered by the backend and transferred in compressed form. That was very usable at 2G speeds. Of course JavaScript was rare at the time. But I don't think the product was any commercial success.
Of cause their were (mostly toy) games. But in general the technology was probably 10+ years too early for the market.
Was this Opera Mini? I remember installing that on my Nokia many years ago.
It used compression as well.
