[RESOLVED] Can't figure out how to export

Post by snoopcat »

I have am using Firefox & just made a new profile because I was having problems with old one. I would like to copy the Noscript data from the old Profile to the new one & i assume that would be done with the Export & Import buttons. However when i click on "Export" in the old Profile, a folder opens requesting a Filename but I have no idea what to do next. I assume I am supposed to copy the configuration info into this folder but when I click "Save" nothing happens. I know this is the simplest thing to do but I can't figure it out. I've searched the forum but can find anything at this basic level. Any help appreciated.

You'll need to specify a filename (any filename). I suggest something like "2016-12-05 NoScript options.txt". Then the Save button should work.

It worked. I knew it was something simple like that. I even thought of that but discarded it because I figured the name would have to be something more formal. Thanks Thrawn, for taking the trouble to help this Yank. Be Well.
