File Backups was uninstalled
Thanks for trying the extension!
One small clean-up step
If you have any TiddlyWiki tabs open right now, please reload them
(Ctrl+R / F5 / Cmd+R). The buttons and helper tiddlers the
extension added live in memory only and are never saved into your
wiki file, so they disappear on reload.
What stays in your wiki
Your milestone list and any per-wiki settings you changed were saved into your wiki — they’re yours, not the extension’s, so they stay. The guides list them, in case you want to delete them:
If you accidentally removed it
Reinstall from the Firefox Add-ons listing, or, for the latest beta, follow the beta install instructions.
What survives the uninstall and what doesn’t:
- Saved into your wiki — preserved: your milestone list and the per-wiki settings you changed.
- Stored by the extension — reset: the backup directory name, number of backups, reminder defaults, beta-channel opt-in, and the record of your backups. Firefox wipes the extension’s storage on uninstall, so these go back to defaults after reinstall. To get the record of your existing backups back, save the wiki once and use Folder sync (TiddlyWiki 5 · TiddlyWiki Classic).
If you reinstall later
Already-open TiddlyWiki tabs reactivate automatically once the extension is re-enabled — the toolbar buttons reappear and saving works again, no reload needed.
