🐞Import backup not working on Vivaldi Browser

[ccrowles]

Concise Description

Well, after years ironically I now have the opposite problem of issue 434. I can export settings, but I cannot import them back. Which is a bit of a bummer considering that my browser crashed and corrupted the extension, so I had to reinstall it. I had an old backup (2024) but now I'm stuck because I cannot import it.

Backup file:

ImprovedTube TEST backup 83f896b7-a163-489b-b634-e48c1f2cbc79.json
