I'm currently using PM 27.5.0. Have not upgraded to 27.6.2 yet - I'm lazy, and as a former - and burned - user of FF I like to skip browser versions. I'd be happy to update my PM to its latest & greatest, if deemed required to address the issues at hand.
Up to today I was using FEBE 8.3.1. I was already having one issue with it (see #3 below for details), so when I noticed a while ago that FEBE 10.0 was available I decided to wait for FEBE's 'next' iteration, which would probably take care of eventual bugs. So today I installed FEBE 10.1.
So, regarding FEBE 10.1. , I have the following issues to report (I'm using a 'BOTH' type of backup ('Selective' + 'Full profile')):
#1. FORGET ABOUT THIS #1 - it ended up being a non-issue. See next post !!!
FEBE 10.1. does NOT back up the following add-on: uBlock Origin Updater v1.3.0. This PM-specific extension is made available for install at https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/ublock0-updater/ , and hosted at https://github.com/JustOff/ublock0-updater/ .
#2. FEBE 10.1. refuses to "Back up permissions", and forcefully disallows the corresponding checkbox under "Backup items". Under 8.3.1, up to earlier this morning, there was a 3Kb "permissions{profile_name}.json" backup file being created.
#3. Under 8.3.1 I was having an undesired backup of cache files - the issue was practically identical to the one I had described 2 years ago in viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4885 . Only minor difference was that, under 8.3.1, the option "Ignore caching and phishing DB" was NOT grayed out - I could willingly choose it (which I did), but it was being disregarded anyway.
Under that old bug report, I recall you made available some "FEBE 8.7debug" version for me to test, which indeed DID solve the issue at the time. IIRC I think that PM's FEBE 10.x is being built on top of FF's 8.3.x, so I'm inclined to believe you already have this solution ready in 8.7.x and onwards.
So, back to my current cache issue under PM: I grew used to a manual workaround - before performing a FEBE backup, I would go to PM's 'Options' and manually clear the cache. I did this same thing this morning before my first backup (under FEBE 8.3.1), so that right now my PM cache is currently not sizeable enough to allow me to easily test this again under FEBE 10.1. If desired I can perform a more meaningful test later on, after PM's cache has filled up again.
Many thx again for a great piece of software. Not sure if you'll be addressing any of these issues before the holidays, so - Merry XMas and a great New Year !!!
