Synced settings lost on new version

[ldumlija]

Hi,

extension updated to latest version and I lost all my settings synced over google account on chrome.

Can you please tell me is there any way I can recover my settings? I tried to enable/disable sync, but list is still empty.

FoxyProxy version: 8.1

Chrome is up to date
Version 119.0.6045.199 (Official Build) (arm64)

Sync is used when data is shared between 2 Chrome browsers. Do you have the data in another Chrome browser?
If so, you can export fr0m that Chrome and import into this one.

You can also import settings if you have a back-up of FoxyProxy v3 settings.

On all devices extension is automatically updated to newest version (that happened before I realised i lost configuration). Where can I find previous version of chrome extension so I could try to install older version and view if old config shows up?

Also, I don't have backup because backup feature never worked for me in chrome.

Im just able to download current version.

Older version from git (https://github.com/foxyproxy/Foxyproxy_Chrome/releases/tag/standard-3.0.7.1) chrome cant load..

Try this and let me know the result...

1. Go to the Options page
2. Open the Dev Tools (F12)
3. Go to the Console tab
4. Type the following and hit ENTER

browser.storage.sync.get().then(console.log) 

If above has some data, then in the Console tab

1. Type the following and hit ENTER

browser.storage.sync.get().then(pref => {
  const data = JSON.stringify(pref, null, 2);
  const blob = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/json'});
  browser.downloads.download({
    url: URL.createObjectURL(blob),
    filename: 'FoxyProxy_sync.json',
    saveAs: true,
    conflictAction: 'uniquify'
  })
  .catch(() => {}); 
});

2. Go to Import Tab -> Import from older versions
3. Import FoxyProxy_sync.json file that you have saved
4. Click SAVE to save the data

Someone else has posted that:

Good, I'm waiting for this release. And it seems I understood why my proxy configurations disappeared today: for the first time in history, I enabled synchronization with a Google account by selecting the "Sync settings with Google"
option in the FoxyProxy settings. But when I disabled this setting and restarted the browser, my old configuration thankfully came back.

Same issue from me.
I solved it by importing the proxies settings from Firefox.

We have worked on a fix and we are uploading v8.2 which would hopefully fix the issue.

Is there only one FoxyProxy listed under chrome://extensions/? If that is the case, then installing an older version probably wont help.

Try this and let me know the result...

1. Go to the Options page
2. Open the Dev Tools (F12)
3. Go to the Console tab
4. Type the following and hit ENTER

chrome.storage.sync.get().then(console.log) 

If above has some data then in Console tab

1. Type the following and hit ENTER

browser.storage.sync.get().then(pref => {
  const data = JSON.stringify(pref, null, 2);
  const blob = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/json'});
  browser.downloads.download({
    url: URL.createObjectURL(blob),
    filename: 'FoxyProxy_sync.json',
    saveAs: true,
    conflictAction: 'uniquify'
  })
  .catch(() => {}); 
});

2. Go to Import Tab -> Import from older versions
3. Import FoxyProxy_sync.json file that you have saved

I was able to recover my settings with this method. Thanks a lot!

It works fine, thanks a lot.
