the filters are stored in storage.js in your FF profile
something like:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abcde.default\browser-extension-data\{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}
There is no backup / restore feature, probably in the future the devs will add it

well, I still keep (for testing/debugging / creating filters reasons) a FF 55 / 56 (portable versions) - set it OFF on updating and last ABP legacy 2.9.1 (set it OFF on updates)

(it helps to still use EHH, export, import filters etc)

and ofc I use FF 57 + ABP 3.0 too

Is this still the correct location? The only file I have there is named "storage.js.migrated"; and its date stamp is a few months old, which if correct means that it doesn't have my more recent additions.
