Show remote content in restored ldif address book
Some while way back when I created & exported my address book as an LDIF file, lots of these links had the option for show remote content checked. As the list has grown the file has been re-exported as LDIF to keep it up to date
When I import the file for a clean profile, the remote content check box's have been reset. Needless to say as the list grows the number of contacts to reset also.
Is this unchecked by default for security reasons, Setting stored in some other file? Any way to import with this setting in tact

Nice Extension. Yep that certainly holds the allow remote content option - verified on a new profile with ONLY this extension installed.
I will have to have a play with the settings to see if its possible to have the exported file name stay the same on each export - I can see why having multiple names is a good idea in case one of them gets corrupted
Any idea why you need to restart Thunderbird to complete import vs not on a ldif file?

It is true that the remote content setting is cleared when an LDIF file is imported, for reasons I can't explain, but if an address book is exported to a .mab file, and then re-imported, the setting is retained. Export and import of address books in mab format is provided with the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on. Tested and working on my system.

I don't know why a restart is needed, but suspect something like prefs.js is locked while TB is running, and the import requires this file be modified.
It's a very useful add-on, and includes the option to recover deleted contacts and possibly restore corrupted address books.
