Saving and restoring the logo?
fruity —Tue, 02/07/2012 - 06:24
Hi there
There is a thing very disappointing it seems to be unavailable.
Anytime I re-install firefox or the system, or when I'm on another computer, or anything else, I can restore my fastdial links, but not my theme.
The export theme option only save the background picture. I'm tired to always click on all thumbnails, go to the website to search for logos, and then copy/paste the links, etc...
I tried FEBE but it doen't work either.
So is there a way to do it?
Thanks

I am surprised that FEBE does not work for you.
Are you making a backup and restore of the full Profile ?
Please give me more details and I will try to understand

It is worth understanding that themes if you want are to give to other people.
That is you are giving your layout and background.
The user who uses your theme will not want your logos and cell URLs or anything like that.
It is worth too understanding that Fast Dial information is stored in places.sqlite which is Firefox Bookmarks

I have always used local drive images.
Always considered it preferable.
You could see if you can reproduce the same error with local drive images...
You have not mentioned if you are doing a full profile backup n FEBE

Submitted by Sanjay on Fri, 02/17/2012 - 15:20Just export a bookmarks.json backup file from "Bookmarks Manager" in firefox it should backup all the html links of all the thumbnails so when you import into a new firefox it should refresh all websites and logos aswell as they were on your old firefox.
Let me no if it doesn't work as I have done it many times it should work.

Sure
Yes it is clear that the majority of Fast Dial information is stored in places.sqlite (bookmarks)
When FEBE makes a full profile backup it will of course also include bookmarks.
What the user is saying is that for some reason using FEBE he does not get the information he wants.
My feeling is that maybe he is not doing a full profile backup in FEBE
This needs to be established first
This is what we are examining.
