For backing up history files.

I’ve received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there’s no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.

IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.

I want to export them automatically because I’ve had Firefox addon data get wiped unexpectedly.

Tab Session manage can automatically backup sessions to the backup folder. I mentioned that on r/Firefox and got this response:

Oh, this is interesting. It does a backup-to-disk 30 seconds after startup.

During init() it schedules the backup with

setTimeout(backupSessions, 30000);

This generates a silent download to a predefined folder through the functions in these files:

github.com/sienori/…/background.js

github.com/sienori/…/backup.js

github.com/sienori/…/export.js

I didn’t know setTimeout() worked in background scripts. If setInterval() works, too, then this could be done every 15 minutes or whatever interval would be sensible for user styles.

That worked, thanks!
