Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. On the Import page, clicking "import options" shows the desired import path that can be changed by the user. Unfortunately any changes to this setting will not be used the next time you go to the Import page.

Describe the solution you'd like When focus of the text field is lost, it should save to the extension's storage so that the next time the Import page is opened, the updated folder path is used instead of the default /ipfs-companion-imports/%Y-%M-%D_%h%m%s/.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context A changed import path does not save to settings: 2021-09-25T03:41:32-04:00

Research direction
Look for the Import page component, likely in the `addons/ipfs companion` or similar directory. The path input field should be identified and an 'onblur' event listener added to save the value using `browser.storage.local` or `chrome.storage.sync`. On page load, retrieve the saved value and set it as the default for the path field. Validate that the storage API is correctly imported and available.
