download updated basilisk browser, now lost everything

Unread post by vinler » 2022-09-01, 14:45

How can I restore all of the bookmarks, passwords and add-ons that I had before?

I tried restarting the computer at an earlier point, that did not work. I then undid that. I really can't think of anything else. I would like to contact basilisk directly for help but they seem to go out of their way not give an email to contact them with.

thanks

Have you already tried transferring your profile's directory as explained in the first run page and this forum post?

As jobbautista9 said, follow the instructions on the first run page.

This is correct, I don't want to be contacted by email by anyone. I can be contacted either via this forum or by the issue tracker in the Basilisk repo.

Why don't you just send them a PM?

I think PM'ing other users is disabled if you're marked as a "new user".

I never thought about looking for such a thing and probably never noticed it. It took a few minutes or more to figure out what it was trying to say, but I figured it out and it worked. Thanks for your help.

thanks

I know it's easy to dismiss a page/info you are presented with when you first start an application - in many cases it's sales drivel or irrelevant information or things you think you already know. But at least in some cases it really is important, like here :)
