Some RegExp escaping is wrong or unneded here http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?string=new+RegExp&find=PlacesBackups new RegExp("^bookmarks-([0-9\-]+)(?:_([0-9]+)){0,1}(?:_([a-z0-9=\+\-]{24})){0,1}\.(json(lz4)?)$", "i") there's no need to escape - if it's at the end of a character class, as well as + inside a character class. \. should be \\. instead to properly match a "." new RegExp("\.json(lz4)?$"); ditto for \\.
Hi i'd like to work on this bug. So for the first reg exp line do we have to change \.(json(lz4)?) to \\.(json(lz4)?) ?

Why not just change these to be RegExp literals?
sure, we could also do that.
What exactly do i do ?
sorry, let's do what comment 3 suggests, convert new Regexp() to //, then the \. escaping should be right already. Though you can still remove escaping on "-" and "+" when inside a character class [], since + doesn't need to be escaped there, and - doesn't need to be escaped when it's the last char in the class.
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I'll remove the escapes for + and - but i did not understand what i should change new Regexp() to. Should i change new RegExp("\.json(lz4)?$"); to /\.json(lz4)?$/; ?
(In reply to anirudh.gp from comment #7) > Should i change new > RegExp("\.json(lz4)?$"); to /\.json(lz4)?$/; ? yes
