3 years ago This is most likely because the extension currently stores settings in localStorage, which may be lost when cookies and site data is cleared. I intend to move the settings data to the extension storage api which should be more robust, but progress has been slow.
In the meantime I recommend saving a backup of your settings from the Import/Export option so you can more easily restore them.
Currently experiencing the problem on Firefox 80. Problem first noticed with Firefox 79. Problem did not exist with Firefox 78. With all three versions of Firefox, I was using HNTP v1.24.2 and Windows 10.
I first started using HNTP with a clean installation of Firefox 78. I used the settings to customize HNTP to my liking. I used HNTP for months without issue. About a month ago, I installed the same version of Windows 10 onto a new pc coincidentally on the same day that Firefox 79 was released (July 28, 2020). I installed the very same Firefox addons, no fewer and no less. I made my changes to HNTP and browsed. At some point I realized that HNTP was reverting to default settings. I disabled all addons except for HNTP but its settings were still reverting to default. This never happened when I was using Firefox 78.
Is this issue due to a change that occurred from Firefox 78 to Firefox 79 requiring an update to HNTP? Or is there a Firefox setting I can change to resolve this problem? Or is the problem a result of something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time and courtesy.
