 * xseei.export-all.js
 * ===================
 * code-revision 3
 *   https://gist.github.com/nohamelin/6af8907ca2dd90a9c870629c396c9521
 *
 * ABOUT
 * -----
 * It's a minimal no-configurable no-localized single-file re-package of the
 * "Export All Search Engines as OpenSearch XML files in a ZIP File" feature
 * of the "XML Search Engines Exporter/Importer" (XSEEI) legacy add-on for
 * Mozilla Firefox:
 *   https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/search-engines-export-import/
 *
 * ...to be used in those Firefox builds not supporting anymore legacy add-ons
 * (i.e. Firefox 57 and later versions), where the unique system available
 * to create extensions (called "WebExtensions") doesn't let to implement this
 * functionality.
 * As a bonus, it supports Gecko-comparable releases of the SeaMonkey suite
 * too, that did not receive any official compatible release of the add-on.
 *
 * COMPATIBILITY
 * -------------
 * It has been checked to work with:
 *   - Firefox 57 to 61
 *   - Firefox Developer Edition 62.0b8
 *   - Firefox ESR 60.0
 *   - SeaMonkey 2.49.1
 *
 * HOW TO RUN
 * ----------
 * It's expected to be run via the Javascript Scratchpad tool:
 *   https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Scratchpad
 *
 *  1) Ensure you have enabled "Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging
 *     toolboxes" in the Developer Tools settings, or, alternatively, ensure
 *     that the preference *devtools.chrome.enabled* is true in about:config.
 *
 *  2) Open a *stand-alone* Scratchpad window, either using the Shift+F4
 *     keyboard shortcut or from the Web Developer submenu of the main
 *     Firefox menu.
 *     Using the embedded Scratchpad tab in the developer toolbox is NOT
 *     recommended: its behaviour is dependent of the type of content open
 *     in the active browser tab (web content will make this script to fail).
 *
 *  3) Use the "Open File..." command in the Scratchpad to load this file.
 *     A "This scratchpad executes in the Browser context" warning should be
 *     shown on top of the contents of the file. Otherwise, go to the
 *     "Environment" menu and ensure that "Browser" is selected.
 *
 *  4) Make sure there is no selected text in the editor, and use the command
 *     "Run". A file dialog will be open, to select where the ZIP file with
 *     your search engines will be saved. After picking it, a Javascript dialog
 *     will be shown to confirm you the successful task. Otherwise, check the
 *     Browser Console by any related error messages.

don't work with firefox 61.0

I don't see any problem with 61.0.

Please verify the devtools.chrome.enabled preference before trying it, as it's stated in the "How to run" section.
If you still have a problem, please give me more info, as your OS and the latest messages printed in the "Browser Console" developer tool.

about browser
test on fresh profile

Thanks for the report, I will investigate it.

The problem is only triggered by using the Scratchpad tool as an embedded tab in the dev toolbox: I updated the instructions to run it.

Cu error

TypeError: Cu is undefined debugger eval code:80:1
debugger eval code:80
debugger eval code:246

The Components object is deprecated. It will soon be removed. debugger eval code:78:51

Solution to above error

joshcangit/xseei.export-all.js
I've only changed line 78 because Components.utils.import() was replaced with ChromeUtils.import().
This should get rid of that error.

Further problems

Another error is shown.

TypeError: engines.forEach is not a function debugger eval code:128:17

Appears to work but outputs to an empty .zip file.
