Can't find the folder or file where my highlights are stored.

Describe the bug
Can't find the folder or file where my highlights are stored.

Expected behavior
I wish to restore my highlights from a manual backup made from my .mozilla folder.

Which OS, Firefox edition, Textmarker version
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2
FF edition: 113.0.2
Textmarker version: 5.3.3

@ventolinmx
the .mozilla folder should contain a "firefox" folder. In that folder you find all the firefox profile folders you had. Open the one you wish to restore your highlights from - in there you have 2 files that contain the sync and the local storage for that profile:

storage-sync-v2.sqlite
storage.sqlite

So, the path should be: .mozilla/firefox/<name-of-profile>/storage-sync-v2.sqlite (/storage.sqlite)

Please note that these storage folders serve as database for all extensions - not only Textmarker.

Update
Just checked - I think the location for the synced storage is correct (file shared among all extensions). But it seems like the local storage is in an extension specific folder:

.mozilla/firefox/<profile-name>/storage/default/moz-extension+++<extension-id>^userContextId=<user-id>/idb/<prefix>-eengsairo.sqlite

Thanks. Is there a way to know what Textmarker's extension-id is?

Not to my knowledge.
If you have many folders in .../storage/default/ then you could try a full text search inside that folder - search for a term that you should expect in the Textmarker storage - but note that some words will be encoded. Try ignoreHash or pagenote, that worked for me

Thank you. Will look into it.
