Exporting desktop (!!) bookmarks from Firefox for Android
Firefiox Sync messed up my desktop bookmarks, so a part of it lost completely now. But as my Nexus not always online it still contain almost latest snapshot of desktop bookmarks. I already disconnect it from Sync, so it's bookmarks won't be damaged.
Is there any way to export DESKTOP bookmarks from my android device? Does Sync PUSH desktop bookmarks FROM android to sync-server or it just PULL them from it?

Hi zoorg,
Exporting bookmarks from Android (importing on Desktop is already in place) is a long-standing need that has not yet been filled, and I'm sorry for that. To answer your final question, each Synced device works by first pulling bookmarks from the server, merging those into its own bookmarks, and then pushing back any changes to the server. So it's pull then push.
The simplest thing is to create a new Firefox Profile (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles) and connect that new profile to your Firefox Account. That'll download all the bookmarks on the server. You might find that these bookmarks are correct. If that's the case, you could abandon your old profile and continue using this new one.
If the bookmarks are *not* correct, I suggest you delete your account at https://accounts.firefox.com/settings and re-create it. (You can use the same email address since you delete the old one.) Then you can re-connect your Android device, which should upload all the bookmarks it has. Then attach your Desktop (with a new, clean profile), which should download the new bookmarks.
Hope that helps, and sorry for the difficult process :(

That will definitely do too! It sounds like you might be interested in contributing patches for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775104. Any interest? I can mentor that ticket...
