FireFox 66.0.5 Brief 2.6 How can i make a backup from the feeds' items or export them ?

ghost commented 5 years ago

the actual feeds items are stored in a sqlite DB that resides in the profile folder

ahmed-tea commented 5 years ago

@n8v8R I want to export feeds items, uninstall the brief, install it again, and import the exported feeds items into new brief

ghost commented 5 years ago

For im/exporting subscription list Brief provides that functionality (*.opml) but not for the actual feed items. As mentioned previously actual feeds items are stored in a sqlite DB that resides in the profile folder -> https://github.com/brief-rss/brief/blob/master/modules/database.js

Not sure whether that DB is retained when Brief is getting uninstalled and neither whether/how migration of that DB would work.

No. Database is not retained on uninstall. That's a "feature" of webextensions.
