Can I have both RESTClient and RESTClient APS installed at the same time?

I strongly recommend against it. This fork is based heavily on the original RESTClient and therefore they both have similar preferences and databases. This may and will cause various conflicts.

If you notice some strange issues after the installation, perform the procedure below that will clear any data that may cause conflicts. If any issues remain, they are not related to conflicts between RESTClient extensions.

How do I clear settings and persistent data for this extensions?

Sometimes it's necessary to reset state of RESTCLient APS extension to defaults. To do that, preferences and SQLite database need to be removed.

  • This will wipe all data that is related RESTClient and RESTClient APS, such as: request history, bookmarks, settings and preferences.
  • Note: This will not remove or alter any data that is not relevant to RESTClient and RESTClient APS extensions if you perform the procedure correctly.

Here are the steps:

  • Remove RESTClient APS extension through Firefox Addons menu.
  • Close Firefox.
  • Go to your Firefox profile folder. This KBA may help.
  • Remove restclient.sqlite.
  • Open prefs.js with any text editor. Remove all lines that start with user_pref("extension.restclient..
  • Start Firefox and re-install the extension.
