# Help! FoxyProxy Updated and All Settings Are Lost
Using Firefox and you've lost all FoxyProxy settings? FoxyProxy updated from 7.4.2 to 8.2 and you encountered an update bug. You have 3 choices:
## Downgrade to 7.4.2
1. Download https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/releases/download/7.4.2/foxyproxy_standard-7.4.2-an+fx.xpi
2. Click the file; firefox will ask you to install that addon. Confirm.
3. Go to Firefox settings, addons (about:addons), FoxyProxy, check that it shows version 7.4.2.
**Important**: On that same page, set "Allow automatic updates" to off, otherwise 8.2 could be installed at any time.
If you upgrade to 8.3, when it is available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/ then the bug will be gone.
## Retrieve Settings and Keep 8.2
From [this comment](https://github.com/foxyproxy/browser-extension/issues/45#issuecomment-1838719332):
1. Go to the Options page
2. Open the Dev Tools (F12)
3. Go to the Console tab
4. Type the following and hit ENTER
browser.storage.sync.get().then(console.log)
If above has some data, then in the Console tab
1. Type the following and hit ENTER
```js
browser.storage.sync.get().then(pref => {
const data = JSON.stringify(pref, null, 2);
const blob = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/json'});
browser.downloads.download({
url: URL.createObjectURL(blob),
filename: 'FoxyProxy_sync.json',
saveAs: true,
conflictAction: 'uniquify'
})
.catch(() => {});
});
```
2. Go to Import Tab -> Import from older versions
3. Import FoxyProxy_sync.json file that you have saved
4. Click SAVE to save the data
## Wait For Mozilla to Approve 8.3
It should be available in a few days, but we have no guarantee.
