Unable to sync or import settings in new firefox installation
sunng87 opened this issue · comments
First of all, thank you for the awesome addon. I have been your user for more than ten years. In my new Firefox installation, verison 79, FoxyProxy was synced but no configuration is available. When I use import settings, it says the operation was success but configuration is still empty.
I'm getting these errors from debug console:
- Error: mode is set to undefined but no active proxySetting is found with that id. Disabling Due To Error
- Unchecked lastError value: Error: QuotaExceededError: storage.sync API call exceeded its quota limitations.
- Unchecked lastError value: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.
Let me know if you need more information for my case.
@sunng87 hi, it looks like you are affected by this new Firefox "feature":

This user had same problem:

But there is no resolution right now except to turn off Synchronize Settings.
Sorry about that. I will look into optimizing the use of storage, but that is just a band-aid: there are now hard limits on synchronized storage in Firerfox that you will always hit at some point
Thanks for fast response.
To be clear, users experiencing this issue will need to edit the exported json to set sync to false and import it again.

Wait, what? Why can't you turn it off here, where it says Synchronize Settings ?
If that is not working for some reason, I can add logic that tries to prevent the user from adding too much data to the extension with warning messages -- but only if Synchronize Settings is on.
@ericjung because if you turn off the sync toggle and import your settings, the toggle is opened again and nothing really imported.
@sunng87 , are you using Firefox Portable? What version of Firefox and on operating system (so I can try to reproduce this)
