Sadly, FECT seems dysfunctional. All I ever got was a warning that the browser will be restarted, but it wasn't. Only the FECT window got in the background. When I tried again the same thing, but still nothing hapnned. When I closed the window I got some notification that the iteration was cancelled. The enabled/disabled/suspisious extensions secations were suspiciously empty.
(tried FF55 besides WF56. If I would go back to older it might be not be a relevant test)

Okay.
So doing it manually wasn't hard. I disabled all other extensions an FEBE still didn't recognize the addons, so it's not even a conflict. It also didn't even recognize FECE...

Did you try running FEBE in a new, fresh profile (with no other extensions installed)? Are you, by chance, using the Hungarian locale in the browser(s)?

Didn't try fresh profile, I can't see any use of FEBE in a clean profile. What would I even test for, with no other addons? (The full profile backup never had issues.)

A full profile backup is very different than a selective one. A full profile backup is essentially the same as using a zip writer to compress the entire profile folder as is. The selective backup actually parses each file, extracts individual records and adds them to a specific json file. This uses much more overhead and utilizes different APIs.

A clean profile will still contain files (albeit mostly empty) for cookies, bookmarks, etc., FEBE and any other system extensions. If the backup works on a clean profile then we know to start looking at the non-extension items as possible culprits.

How would I know it's working, when the only symptom I know of is extensions not being recognized/saved. I never used selective for anything other than extensions, so I wouldn't know how it worked before.

We can at least see if the 'List installed add-ons' function is working.

Isn't that where you first noted the issue?

But wouldn't it show nothing (at most the default theme) anyway?
At first I noticed that addons were missing from the backup. Then I found the list feature.

At least FEBE itself should appear in the list with a valid version number. I'm just trying to rule things out.

Re: [Support] - FEBE (et al.) alternate support thread

Post by Shadoefax »

I still see a lot of "vundefined (unknown)" extensions in that list. Do those extensions appear in FEBE Options > What to backup > Ignore list > Get list? If so, can you check the box(es) to have them ignored? You may not, because the list is displaying the GUID of the extension (e.g., keefox@chris.tomlinson.xpi instead of the extension name.

Can you attach the keefox@chris.tomlinson.xpi extension to your reply? (You should find it in your profile/extensions folder. You may need to rename the .xpi to .zip to attach it.) I will try to install it and see if I can duplicate the problem.

Are you running these test with Fx or WF?

Yeah, well that's from the main profile. No reason it would be different. I just pasted it because I found the copy option. (Don't know why it's disabled by default. Can't even copy manually when I select text)

I checked, a few ones are present at the end of the list:

I can check them all.

Not sure what you mean all of the extensions there have their proper name and version number.

Here it is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_uhkZ ... sA2O6uU8Py

I use Waterfox 56.2.7.1. (It looks like It got updated somehow. Probably because of testing with a new profile for FEBE. God, I hate Firefox's update mechanism...)

I updated WF to v57.2.7 (from v56.0.4) and installed the Kee extension. It worked fine for me - backup worked and all the extensions show correct in 'List installed add-ons'.

Sorry, but I'm running out of ideas to check.

The official forum is broken. The page containing information on how to register on the official forum is empty. Also there is a lot of garbage messages in the beginning in the likes of:

FEBE has been dead for years and is no longer under any sort of development
