Can I sync rss feeds (live bookmarks) with iCloudDrive?

I just got an iPhone6 and it uses iCloudDrive to sync my bookmarks from Firefox (desktop) with my iPhone (with Safari). All of my bookmarks were successfully imported (and they've stayed in sync) to my iPhone with the exception of my "live bookmarks" (or RSS feed links). My bookmark folder structure is intact, but without any live bookmarks.

I tried to export from Firefox (as HTML file) and then import into Safari - but that yields the same result. And unfortunately Firefox's sync feature isn't an option.

On a previous occasion when my Firefox profile got corrupted, I tried restoring my bookmarks from a backup and got the same results (bookmark toolbar folder structure restored but no live bookmarks). I was able to restore my live bookmarks by inserting a backup copy of liveclick.sqlite into the new profile (using the LiveClick extension was my saving grace). Unfortunately that workaround is not an option when transferring/syncing live bookmarks between platforms.

Is there another way to export my live bookmarks for use in another browser? Or do I have to just manually re-subscribe to all of my feeds?

Hi scooter-indy, As far as I know, not built into Firefox. There are third party sync options like X marks.
