UBO

Please explain the issue you are experiencing.

In the youtube config (special config) uBO settings can be backed-up to file, but not restored from file. I have my own settings (which more or less includes most phoenix defaults) but I cannot use it. The expected behaviour is as on the "normal" basic phoenix FF profile, where backed-up settings can also be restored.

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

In the uBO dashboard, go to settings tab, scroll to bottom and click back up to file. Save the file. In the same menu, now click restore from file.... Nothing happens.

Thanks for the report!

I believe I know what's causing this - @GW72 can you please try setting widget.disable_file_pickers to false from about:config, and let me know if that makes a difference?
