Feature request: export/backup config settings #802

Closed nobk closed 8 years ago

nobk commented 8 years ago

When we reinstall firefox on new PC, we need quick import our config settings from backup. The vimrc/vimrc.js is good start, but not everyone have the time or ability write their own rc script by hand, using default GUI finish config settings and save/export a backup will more efficient.

See #245, #267, #625 and #713.

In other words, find a general way to sync/backup/export your Firefox stuff. Every add-on shouldn’t re-implement a prefs export/import system.

To avoid confusing other readers: What @nobk is talking about here is a config file, which is written in JavaScript.

I decided to add import/export after all.

:,-( Saddened to see VimFx adding features that strictly speaking are not its business. One should use an extension that can select a namespace for export/import. Just my rant. Now I have stuff in my VimFx that I will never use.

@amn Fork and remove everything you don't need.
