Restore settings

YouTube + v1.4.1 is now a WebExtension and as a result of this transition any previous settings need to be restored manually. For more information see the following links:

To restore your previous YT+ settings follow these steps:

  • Open your Firefox browser
  • Enter about:support on your URL bar
  • In the Application Basics table click the Show Folder button
  • A desktop window will open
  • In that window open the folder jetpack
  • Open the folder particle@particlecore.github.io (or unlisted-particle@particlecore.github.io)
  • Open the folder simple-storage
  • Open the file store.json with any text editor
  • Delete {"particleSettings": in the beginning
  • Replace }} with } in the end of the file
  • Copy all the remaining text
  • Return to your Firefox browser and open a YouTube page
  • Open the YT+ settings by clicking the dark triangle located on the top right of your page
  • Click the 💾 (floppy disk) icon next to the Reset button
  • Replace the current settings with the settings you copied previously
  • Click Save and load
  • Restart Firefox

Your previous settings are now restored

NOTE: The webextension information box will show up again after importing your previous settings and this is normal, just click the close button.
