How to get my Firefox Mobile tabs and collections out of my dying Android phone? Sync doesn't transfer these!
I always use Firefox mobile and Firefox Sync is always enabled.
My phone is dying and I need to rescue my Firefox browsing session : It contains thousands of tabs and collections of even more tabs (it built up because I never found a way to transfer these reliably).
A tab has a history, so back and forward pages, I need the full history of the tabs! Firefox Sync doesn't transfer these!
Firefox sync transferred 2300 tabs, but it seems that this set is incomplete as there is a large chunk of tabs missing, it's probably a thousand more. I restored these on Firefox desktop in a normal PC Firefox profile, they don't contain tab history as far as I can tell.
I also used collections in an attempt to synchronise better, there's over 800 tabs in there, I don't see these in Firefox Sync either.
Can Firefox Sync be archived/exported? I might not be able to replace the phone before my sync data disappears!
Please help me get to my data !

Hi
When you open a Collection, you should see a "share" icon, that will allow you to share those tabs to another copy of Firefox connected to your Firefox Account.
I hope that this helps.
I tried this just now. I sent a collection of 8 tabs to another Firefox on another phone, it receives it as 8 notifications that only open the current page as a link, no tab history and one by one, requiring multiple clicks per tab. Doing 800+ tabs like this is going to be insane and incomplete...
The other way is to save them as bookmarks and to sync bookmarks to another device.
Yeah, but is there a way to automatically bookmark all tabs?
No, there is no way to to do that at present.
I really need help here to recover my Firefox mobile tabs, where can I find the help I need?
I am doing my best to help you here, but I do not know of any other way to move Collections from you Android device.
