Allow exporting bookmarks to and importing them from an html file on firefox for android

[Anonymous]

Currently firefox for android only allows syncing bookmarks between devices using firefox sync. There is no option to import them from or export them to an html file. The desktop version allows this.

The problem is that not everyone wants to sync bookmarks. I just want to backup them locally when switching custom ROMs and firefox doesn't allow this. Also, this would make switching to firefox easier for people as they can import bookmarks from other browsers.

It would be great if Firefox add this on android and maybe on iOS too if it's possible there.

i agree...

This is what I came here to suggest! This feature is needed on the Android browser. I don't see why users have to request this feature, it should be a standard feature.

Anyone who votes for this request should consider voting for this one, too:

Exactly. I don't want my desktop bookmarks, nor to sync across devices, but I do want my bookmarks from my other browsers (Chrome; DuckDuckGo). I only ever used Chrome out of lack of options, while DuckDuckGo's lighter weight and easier to use but has some sites break and still isn't quite up with Firefox for privacy. Also, DuckDuckGo doesn't have a way to sync to the desktop even if I didn't mind that method of Firefox bookmarks, while it has probably 90%-95% of my bookmarks.

Not having this feature is indeed a major drawback for firefox android. I have been using firefox as my main browser and after realising that I cannot export my bookmarks, I am reconsidering. As Spell said, not everyone wants to sync their bookmarks, because for example they have separate bookmarks in each device and do not want to mix them.

Allow Exporting Bookmarks on Firefox for Android

I'd like to be able to export bookmarks from my mobile device and do offline backups much like it is possible in the pc version. On android, I know that at least, Kiwi Browser is able to do that.

I make this account to suggest exactly this. But seems it's already requested 2 years ago

Can we have import & export Bookmark in HTML file for Firefox Android?? I want to fully use Firefox on my Android phone but most of my bookmark are in Brave browser and Brave browser support import & export bookmark in HTML file.

Thank you for the idea. It ties to why my team and I generally use history and keywords to find favorable sites.

[majesticmini471]

This is a very good idea, TREO. Yet, what would you think if the file(s) could also be visible in Word/WordPad, Notepad(++), Excel, if Access? That can go back to compatibility from 2007. It ties to why my team loves DOS3.1 via UNIX. Honestly, do you see that no Android nor iOS would ever work if BlackBerry-OS2 was never created? That is why having multiple formats to save Mozilla account names, bookmarks, histories, if downloads' properties, if users and/or passwords, and if add-ons'/plug-ins'/themes' properties, would be excellent to save and view them as. Do you agree?

Same for exporting bookmarks from collections and entire collections.

The requested feature is needed to use bookmarks in any browser on any system.

@Jon when do you think this could be implemented in an upcoming version of Firefox for iOS?

Unless there a little hack I could do to grab all my “mobile bookmarks”.
