Export option not working

[geblanco]

Hi!,

I am trying to export my profile (mainly keybindings) to use it on another computer, but the "export options to file" is not working, it tries to download the file, but it fails.

I am using Firefox 57 under Linux.

I'm having trouble replicating this bug. Is there anything interesting in the debug console logs? For anyone else encountering this bug, are you also using Linux?

Hello,

Yes I'm using Linux, here is the debug trace

Also, in idle, I get this message

Hope this helps!

Having the same trouble here. Using Firefox 57 on macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Except for exactly the same debug trace @m0n0l0c0 provided, I also saw the following one:

TypeError: Argument 1 of PrecompiledScript.executeInGlobal is not an object.[Learn More]  ExtensionContent.jsm:357:18
Cannot send function call result: other side closed connection (call data: ({path:"downloads.download", args:[{body:null, conflictAction:null, filename:"saka_key_config.json", headers:null, incognito:false, method:null, saveAs:true, url:"blob:moz-extension://d2239f8d-fff1-2546-b808-9b7b6fe44304/4579c937-bfa2-1544-8296-6ed7447c927f"}]}))

I'm having the same issue with Firefox 58.0.1. I cannot export the JSON even though the download file dialogue opens. My OS is Mac OS X 10.12.6
@liancheng how do you check the error message?

Same happens with me using Firefox 58.0.1

@IOAyman I figured out. You have to open the option menu on a separate page instead of operating directly in the popup. You can do that from Firefox extension manager.

@LinxiFan, Thanks for pointing it out! It works that way.
I was blind to the text warning at the very top of the settings pages saying Firefox users should use the addons pages!

Same here. Im using Firefox (58.0b16) on OS X and it wouldnt export from popup. You have to open the prefs from the addon manager. Thanks to @LinxiFan !

I faced this issue on Firefox 64.0 (64-bit), Win 10. This was the message logged in the browser console:

Cannot send function call result: other side closed connection (call data: ({path:"downloads.download", args:[{body:null, conflictAction:null, filename:"saka_key_config.json", headers:null, incognito:false, method:null, saveAs:true, url:"blob:moz-extension://3e2fc28e-07b5-45da-97a5-d34edad918d0/9a1c4cc8-4a68-443f-b5c9-b97960542c2b"}]}))

Solution provided by @LinxiFan worked for me too.

Solution by @LinxiFan still works in 2019, Firefox 74.0 (64-bit)
