TheTwelveYearOld OP , (edited )

I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.

IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.

TheTwelveYearOld OP ,

I want to export them automatically because I've had Firefox addon data get wiped unexpectedly.

TheTwelveYearOld OP ,

Tab Session manage can automatically backup sessions to the backup folder. I mentioned that on r/Firefox and got this response:

Oh, this is interesting. It does a backup-to-disk 30 seconds after startup.

During init() it schedules the backup with

setTimeout(backupSessions, 30000);

This generates a silent download to a predefined folder through the functions in these files:

https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/blob/master/src/background/background.js

https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/blob/master/src/background/backup.js

https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/blob/master/src/background/export.js

I didn't know setTimeout() worked in background scripts. If setInterval() works, too, then this could be done every 15 minutes or whatever interval would be sensible for user styles.

Lemmy.world: Shouldn't Firefox have a built-in UI to export and import addon data?

Addons have to implement their own ways to backup and import data, it can be very tedious to do so when using multiple or switching profiles. It wouldn't be possible to just copy and paste profile folders, like from Firefox Nightly to regular Firefox (since the Firefox version is too new), from Firefox to Floorp, or vice versa...

lemmy.world: How can I make addons run on restricted pages (like mozilla.org ones) if I emptied extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains?

I saw this was posted yesterday but when I emptied the extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains preference in about:config and restarted FF, I still couldn't get Vimium to work on addons.mozilla.org. I want all addons to work on all domains, is there a solution for that?

feddit.de: Is it possible at all to restore accidentally delete history entries on Mac?

I should not be a few keystrokes away from accidentally deleting all of today's entries with no confirmation if I'm sure, and no way to recover them, even if I close the browser in the same second. I don't even know which ones I hit.

TheTwelveYearOld OP ,

I wonder if its because I crosspost to other Firefox communities but they all show up in the feed of any given one.

Can users upload files to Manifest V3 addons?

For instance, in the settings page for Tab Session Manager, you can click an upload button to upload JSON session files from your device to the addon. I looked up if UBlock Origin Lite (the re-implementation of UBlock Origin with Manifest v3) supports custom filter lists and all the results said no it can't due to the...

How can I sync only one bookmarks folder across Firefox profiles and accounts, with their smart keywords?

If you don't know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn't matter as long as they have the...

How hard is it for you to use Firefox's browser toolbox / dev tools? Do you ever feel like you're fighting it?

Personally I'm pretty frustrated with the way it works. I've noticed all of the following , and at least some of these apply to dev tools too. I don't like the way Google controls the internet with Chrome, but at least its dev tools just work....

Let me clarify: I want to see "lemmy" in the URL bar if I search it and can copy it instead of https://www.google.com/search?q=lemmy

Apparently I wasn't clear enough in my other post. When I focus on the URL bar on a search page with either CMD L or by clicking it, I want to be able to just copy the phrase "lemmy" instead of having to select the text from https://www.google.com/search?q=lemmy. If I type search queries with spaces in them, the spaces are...

TheTwelveYearOld OP ,

I just created a new profile and it isn't default on it. What settings do I change for it?
