    Just wanted to update my review. Since the breaking changes that happened 4-5 months ago this add-on has been stable and working flawlessly.
    My biggest issue now with the add-on is the UI is a little on the clunky side. Still very usable but there is room for improvement as well.

    I do recommend this add-on.
    Disclaimer to users: I do no perform a lot of REST-based operations. I have a list of REST calls that I have saved and forget about until I need one for a specific reason.

    Old review:
    Overall this add-on is very good and works well.
    A recent update to it (0.x to 1.x) had some big changes and caused all saved REST calls to be deleted because of a technology change of the add-on.
    This is a very unfortunate incident but I'm going to assume that how it works now will be stable for the foreseeable future.

    Hi, thanks for leaving feedback!

    I'm sorry to have cleared your collections, I know this is painful. As you may have read elsewhere, Firefox will automatically update extensions regardless of version number. But, in case you were not aware of this, there is actually an export feature in the settings menu (the cog wheel above the request) :)

    If you wish to recover your old collections, it may be possible to go into the old versions of RESTED (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rested/versions) and download version 0.9.1 and see if your collections are still there. If they are, you can export your collections and import them to the new version. If you try this, please leave a comment with your experience.

    Also, I can assure you that this should never happen again. I batched all the breaking changes together, making sure that the extension now is worthy of 1.0, i.e. a stable version.

    All my collections was deleted without any warning in the last automatic update. The warning showed after the update. All my work are lost. :(

    Yes, unfortunately Mozilla does not provide a way to handle semantic versioning, so an update from 0.x to 1.x will be automatically applied without any question.

    You can try to install the old version from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rested/versions/ and do an export if your collections are still there.

    The clearing of the store is unfortunately unavoidable, as the 1.0 update both upgraded RESTED from a firefox extension to a webextension, and changed the storage backend from IndexedDB to chrome.storage. No migration other than manual user migration is possible.

    Sorry for your pain
