How to restore from an old Tabfern's directory

[udif]

I had to reinstall Windows 11 due to the latest KB5058405 issue a week ago (couldn't fix my system with KB5062170 , probably because I messed with my system too much before it was released).
I have all my Users directories, Windows and all Program* folders saved aside.

How can I extract Tabfern's data from the previous windows install and copy it manually into the new install? I didn't do any proper backup before, and I have hundreds of tabs.

Hmmm... there's not an officially-supported way. I think you could probably start up Chrome but point it to your backup, like in https://superuser.com/q/1485684 . Maybe something like this:

chrome.exe --user-data-dir="C:\...\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"

(Reference to user-data dir: https://superuser.com/q/1485684)

Then you could open TF and make a TF backup. Exit that Chrome session and start your regular session, and import the backup.

That's the cleanest I can think of at the moment. How does that strike you?
