This document describes how to copy your browser's "www.archive.org"
storage into the "archive.org" storage. The instructions here are quite
technical, sorry.

Each browser is different. Follow the instructions for your browser.


Browser: Opera
--------------

Type "opera:webstorage" into the browser's URL box.

Locate "http://www.archive.org" in the list. Note its "Data file path";
I'll assume henceforth that it's "pstorage/00/0A/00000005".

Now locate "http://archive.org" in the list. Note its "Data file path";
I'll assume henceforth that it's "pstorage/00/01/00000005".

Close your browser (or restart it later).

Copy the former file into the later; E.g., in Linux do:

  $ cd ~/.opera/pstorage
  $ cp 00/0A/00000005 00/01/00000005


Browser: Firefox
----------------

Firefox stores the data in an SQLite database.

In Firefox' profile folder you'll find the file "webappsstore.sqlite".
That's the database.

Open this database using SQLite. E.g., in Linux do:

  $ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default
  $ sqlite3 webappsstore.sqlite

Now issue the following SQL commands:

  DELETE FROM webappsstore2 WHERE scope='gro.evihcra.:http:80';

  UPDATE webappsstore2 SET scope='gro.evihcra.:http:80' WHERE scope='gro.evihcra.www.:http:80';

That's all. (I didn't have to restart my browser.)


Browser: Google Chrome
----------------------

In Chrome's profile folder you'll find the folder "Local Storage". In it
you'll find the file "http_www.archive.org_0.localstorage". Remove the
"www." string in this file's name.

E.g., in Linux the whole process is:

  $ cd ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/"Local Storage"
  $ mv http_www.archive.org_0.localstorage http_archive.org_0.localstorage

...and restart the browser.
