Years of Noscript permissions gone with ff 79.0 update

[vsrawat]

Also, as I have worked on ff for last one week for long hours daily, I had again started adding new sites to NOscript, there should have been dozens if not hundreds of sites already added in one week.

But noscript dashboard is still showing entirely blank, not a single site that I had added in last one week is appearing.

So, I again think that this data wiping is not related to ccleaner or v79 update. Something is stuck in my noscript itself.

Thanks.

Has noscript and all extensions have left to ff to store their data?

Yes. All WebExtensions are forced to.

Wow. I think there has been a major misunderstanding here.

The original title of this thread was "Years of Noscript permissions gone with ff 79.0 update". And when I told the OP how to recover their data from the old storage-sync.sqlite, this is what they said -

nothing shown my previous noscript massive settings. All windows and panes remained absolutely blank.

(emphasis mine)

They didn't say "remained at default settings", like happens with the CCleaner issue. They said "absolutely blank". Which actually suggests they DID recover their old NoScript settings, but the problem is that it had become corrupt and was causing NoScript to error.

Who changed the title to "CCleaner wiping out extensions settings in Fx 79"?

@vsrawat, I'm sorry I didn't catch this sooner and I apologise on behalf of everyone on forum staff for this mishandling.

What did sqlitebrowser get out of your old backup? Did you try it on storage-sync.sqlite?

Did you try it on storage-sync-v2.sqlite with the -shm & -wal files present?
(The -shm & -wal files will disappear after you do this, their content will be written out to storage-sync-v2.sqlite.)

@vsrawat,
hi, you might be able to get your list of trusted/untrusted sites (from NS) back in Firefox 78 and then export them.
Later import them back into FF 79.

Use the file "storage.js" from your previous FF profile backup or check if the file "storage.js.migrated" exists in your default FF profile.
This file should have your list of trusted/untrusted sites from Noscript.

This file is located Noscript's Extension ID folder in C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<FF_Profile_Name>\browser-extension-data\{73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}\

Good luck!

Use the file "storage.js" from

NoScript stores the permissions in storage.sync, not storage.local.
(And the data in storage.js would be from before FF 66.)

Split this out from its original thread and restored original topic title to keep focus on vsrawat's specific issue.
