Using the firefox mobile extension "Copy Profile" I have saved a copy of my profile to the sd card. Now I would like to restore selectively:

- bookmarks - history - reading mode saved pages - most visited pages

While restoring the relevant files (using root access on android) helped, I am suffering from these probems: - The order of the bookmarks is mixed up: I had ordered them with the desktop app. Where is this order stored? - The "most visited pages" appears to be a random selection from the history.

Any ideas?

Solution was to copy the files mentioned here:

Recovering important data from an old profile

And here:

Extracting bookmarks from Android mozilla profile backup

Important: The file ownership of all files copied back into the profile directory have to be adjusted. On my machine they defaulted to "root" owner which prevented firefox from accessing them.
