You can go to: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/versions/ Download an older version

Data is recoverable as explained in https://github.com/foxyproxy/browser-extension/issues/53#issuecomment-1848282804

@erosman Before your answer I made an export from 8.2 Then installed old version 7.5.1 But cant import data, nothing happens... I think because the config format is different...

Is there a way to convert the config from 8.2 to 7.5.1?

[erosman]

Export from v8 is not compatible with v7.

Did you recover the data through the method mentioned above? If so, you can use that data to import into v7.

[TheFlanker]

@erosman no, recover saving file with zero data.

[erosman]

If the data is not large, you can remove the user/passwords and post it and I will try to manually convert it for you.

[TheFlanker]

@erosman data is 200+ strings with different logins/pwd.

I already converted it to old format. But got new problem with sorting imported data. Do you know syntax of "ID" for sorting?

For example 5 "ids" and it sorting good when import from 1 to 5.

fnlgnn1702156077379

Do you know mask/syntax how to generate this for good sorting? Or generate pls 250 "ids" for me please...

[erosman]

The sorting was done via "index" property in v7.

[TheFlanker]

@erosman How i can generate 250+ strings with this "index" for change it in .json file for import?

[erosman]

The following code generates the ID.

Math.random().toString(36).substring(7) + new Date().getTime()

[TheFlanker]

@erosman ty, but not working good... Sorting is still random...

[TheFlanker]

Give me pls solution how to import config with good sorting...

I'm trying add "fake" proxy list, after export it and replace "ids" to my old cfg and import - but it to dont work... Sorting is random...

[erosman]

The new preference export is already sorted. It is in an array and array is sorted.

When converting the array to an object, you need to take the array index and set is as object property "index" for the old format.

Here is a quick example... The include/exclude formats are different and it might not be possible to convert them back.

data is the data in the new format database.

const typeSet = {
  'http': 1,    // PROXY_TYPE_HTTP
  'https': 2,   // PROXY_TYPE_HTTPS
  'socks5': 3,  // PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5
  'socks4': 4,  // PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4
  'direct': 5   // PROXY_TYPE_NONE
};
let obj = {};

data.forEach((i, index) => {
  // generate an id
  const id = Math.random().toString(36).substring(7) + new Date().getTime();
  obj[id] = {
    index,
    active: i.active,
    title: i.title,
    color: i.color,
    type: typeSet[i.type],
    address: i.hostname,
    port: i.port*1,
    username: i.username,
    password: i.password,
    cc: i.cc,
    country: '',
    whitePatterns: i.include,
    blackPatterns: i.exclude,
    proxyDNS: false,
    pacURL: i.pac
  };
});

@erosman Thank you for your patient response to the question and your useful code. @TheFlanker I also need to roll back to version 7.5 because of bugs in the new version. Through this issue, I wrote this simple script to modify the configuration to the old format. I updated with the json config file exported by the new version, it seemed to maintain the order. Hope this helps. (link here)[https://github.com/ohitworks/FoxyProxy-Config-Rollback]
