[RESOLVED] Retrieving my whitelist from the Mozilla profile?

Hi All

my laptop just died and I'm currently using a different machine, and getting a new laptop.

When this Firefox sync'd, it installed NoScript for me but not my whitelist. I get the idea that FF Sync can delete the whitelist anyway, so maybe that's just as well.

Can I find the whitelist in a properties file somewhere in the backup that I have of my Mozilla profile from my dead laptop?

That'd be really cool, there must be 5 years of whitelisting that I could get back.

Thanks

about:config > capability.policy.maonoscript.sites

Copy that pref value into the same pref in about:config. Or, completely quit Firefox and replace that prefs.js entry with the one from your dead laptop.

Let us know, thanks.
