I have been bashing my head against this problem for a while now. Some may say it's become an obsession!
My computer died a death recently and I decided to replace rather than repair. I have quite a good list of whitelisted and blacklisted sites on my plugin, so I figured I would hook up the hard drive and slide them over. How hard could it be?
Turns out, pretty damn hard.
To give you some background. I don't have a browser account, so there is no sync between accounts. I thought I could simply go to the profile folder on the drive and copy a database across. Initially I thought this was the storage-sync.sqlite, but that appears to only hold the default list when shut down and only holds the full list when powered on. I have looked through the extension folders and even tried tracing where the files are written too. No luck. And I obviously can't export from the web UI.
At this point it would be easier and faster to re-create the list manually, but as I am stuck in quarantine and already going nuts, I really need this!
In the code I can see that storage.remote is used, which from my googling appears to push a small amount of data to the Mozilla cloud, but that seems to only be if the user has an account to sync.
I will be honest, this has become less about retrieving my data and more about needing an answer on this
if someone could please put me out of my misery and tell me which damn file holds the whitelist/blacklist I would be eternally grateful.
