Auto-import settings from URL

[fmorkow]

Hi Tom,

first of all, i want to thank you for such an awesome plugin, which really saves me a lot of time.

Unfortunately, I noticed that an "auto-import settings from URL" feature doesn't work as expected. When I specify URL for the settings to be imported and check the checkbox (Auto-import settings from the URL above when the browser starts) it only imports the settings once (after the first restart of a browser). Then when I go to the Import / Export tab the checkbox is unchecked... So when i restart Firefox once again the settings are not imported.

I would like the plugin to import settings from the specified URL every time the browser is restarted. I would gretly appreciate if you could make it work. I can donate some amount if you could help with it.

I use FF version 99.0 and Autofill 10.3.2

Thanks,
Filip

Hi Filip, Thanks for the kind words. The first thing I would check is that auto-import is enabled in your remote settings file. It should look something like this: autoimport,1,https://... Tom

Wow, that was it - I didn't have URL specified in remote file. Thanks for a fast reply. Everything works like a charm now!

If you have "auto-import" option checked, the import should be automatic every time browser starts. Tom

I have one more question - is it possible to make the plugin import settings from the file 'on the fly' after restarting browser, i.e. without having to navigate to Import/Export tab and manually clicking Import button? Now I have the path to the file saved in plugin options, the checkbox is stays checked - but still i need to click import button, for the import to start.
