Hello

i don't have any .mpsite file i have only a storage.js file of a 2.2.0 installation in a backup. how to import this storage.js file to a 2.3.0 installation ?

thanks

Hi, there is no way to directly import the storage.js as it is stored in a Firefox implementation defined format.

Two alternatives: 1) Setup a profile with v2.2.0, place the storage.js in the appropriate folder, start Firefox and export a .mpsites

2) If you don't have too many sites, storage.js should be human readable, import manually.

If you upgraded from a 2.2.0 installation, your sites should have converted over automatically !?

thanks success

why not adding a new feature "import settings from another FF installation"

i mean by settings: -settings -data

The new format (replacing .mpsites) proposed by the inventor will have the possibility to also store settings.
