Unable to Import backup files on Firefox

[IngocniNerd]

I am working to move from Chrome to Firefox, and I have a backup list of companies I want to block. However, I do not see an import option while on Firefox. I only see these options

Hi! Thanks for submitting this issue, and sorry about the trouble. Unfortunately, the backup and restore function hasn't been added to the Firefox version, yet, because of an oddity in the way Firefox handles extension popup windows when a file input is used. Eventually, I'll add this feature to the Firefox version.

However, there is a workaround that will allow you to restore your backup file in Firefox. I've included a video as well as the instructions below.

Instructions:

1. Open Firefox
2. Go to the following URL: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
3. Click the "Inspect" button next to Hide n' Seek: Hide Promoted Jobs & Companies to open the Developer Tools
4. Click the "..." button on the right side of the Developer Tools to open the options menu
5. Click "Disable Popup Auto-Hide"
6. Click the Hide n' Seek button in the browser that opens the Hide n' Seek popup window
7. Click the frame icon button to the left of the "..." button on the right side of the Developer Tools to open the target frame window
8. Select "/popup/html/popup.html"
9. Select the "Console" tab in the Developer Tools
10. Copy and paste the following line into the console, then press the Enter key to execute it: document.querySelector("#data-settings").style.display = "";
11. Click the gear icon in the Hide n' Seek popup window to go to the settings
12. Click the "Restore data from file" button and select your backup file
