getting settings from old profile #100

Open bdmorin opened 4 years ago

bdmorin commented 4 years ago

I had to do a profile reset, and lost all my (extensive) containerise settings. I have a firefox sync profile, but apparently the settings don't sync. I have my old sqlite file from my old profile, I tried to import and use it, and did all kinds of sqlite3 browsing, but I could not for the life of me get my old settings back.

The sqlite file that has the settings stores it in a blob I can't seem to decode. Do you know anything about how that's stored, or is that all a firefox function?

Thanks.

Do you have a backup of the profile? If you do, then you can use the CSV editor afbeelding to backup your config.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know how it's stored. That's internal to firefox.Maybe they have documentation somewhere.
