I have a problem with syncing. Because of a problem I had with my laptop, I had to reinstall all my programs including Firefox. I had synced it previously with my Android phone. My phone now has all my bookmarks on it. Is there any way I can get those on my PC? All the info I have found is how to get info from PC to phone but not the other way around. I don’t want to click Disconnect on my PC in case I delete any wanted info. Also on my phone the listing for Firefox comes up Firefox (deprecated). And checking on how to set the device on the phone, that information does not help.

There are add ons for copying profiles on android such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/andr.../copy-profile/ or copying the bookmarks file on the device using a File explorer: The browser.db file is easy to find after installing the ES File Explorer v. 3 app I was finally able to find it in:

"/ Device / data / data / org.mozilla.firefox / files / mozilla / xxxxxxxx.default" profile folder.
