Hello,
I'm working on groups sharing feature right now. It should be part of the next release 14.0, probably in next few weeks (it's not an easy thing to do, especially for single developer). Also it will be paid feature as I'm running out of money and donations won't even cover my running costs.

Part of the the Pro version will be also real-time synchronization so your changes will be applied to all your devices and shared users instantly.
All existing features will stay free.

Best regards,

Hello,
There will be a new auto-reload soon that should fix many bugs, hopefully this as well.

Hello,

You are not alone. Firefox has some issues recently and users are loosing all add-ons data, not just in my add-on. See for example this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1530660

But there is way to recover it even if you don't have backups. Firefox in version 66 migrated all add-ons data to a new storage and during this process they created a backup file - "storage.js.migrated".
You can use this file to restore your data, see this article:
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/08/03/new-backend-for-storage-local-api/
After you located the file, you can actually directly import that file into my speed dial - just rename it to "xxx.group_speed_dial" and then import.

And lastly, maybe you Firefox just switched profiles. You see, Firefox 67 started to use separate profile for each installation - this is a good thing to prevent some serious issues, however for some users this actually caused "data loss" because their Firefox was suddenly using a new profile. But all you need to do is switch to a correct profile. See this article for more info:

Hello,
Could you contact me to my support e-mail?
Closing browser should not disable any add-ons, this may be related to something broken in your profile. Old profiles from before 57 era are often broken in some way and it's good to use Firefox Reset to fix all profile issues. Resetting profile will preserve your passwords, bookmarks and other important things (but not add-ons data).
Before resetting your profile I would suggest you to setup Firefox Sync. - this will backup the list of installed add-ons and after reset it will reinstall them.

Hello,
Please contact me to my support email.
Also please send me add-on version and your Firefox version and a screenshot would be also helpful.
Also check Options page / Thumbnails / "Auto-reload target screen resolution" - it should be set to automatic.

Hello,

The bookmarks synchronization will come eventually. But it will take some time... there is just too many things to do.
Regarding my cloud server - as I'm the only author, I can guarantee you, nobody except me has access to the cloud. That also means that I'm the weakest link in the chain - which means it's pretty strong chain :) as I'm a professional programmer with great skills regarding security.
But for the future I'm planning also end-to-end encryption to make things even more secure.

Regarding my income - this is very bad. I have almost none (as you can see in my Patreon page). I live from my savings from previous jobs.
But I do what I love and it's used by so many happy users (which is a great feeling!) so I believe the money will come somehow eventually.
Also soon I will bring back the Pro version and some of the new features will be available only for Patreon supporters. That should generate some income to help me keep this project (and me) alive :).

Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar
