All of my previous security exceptions disappeared when I upgraded Firefox and I have NO list of what they were; how do I get them back?

I was pestered to death by Firefox to upgrade to 12.0. I am really sorry I did. I lost all my Security Exceptions. Tools > Options > Security > Exceptions All of my previous security exceptions disappeared when I upgraded Firefox. They are gone and I have NO list of what they were. Is there ant way to bring them back?

The security exceptions that allow other sites to install software?

Which version did you have before -- 3.6.x or Firefox 11?

I don't know whether you regularly back up your computer, but if you have a backup of your Firefox profile folder, then that data should be in there. If you can locate a backup copy of permissions.sqlite, you could use a utility to extract the list. (Or find a volunteer here to assist you with that.)

By the way, did your pop-up exceptions and image exceptions carry over? You can check those under Tools > Options > Content.
