Can I Recover PC Bookmarks from Firefox on Android

Hello I recently changed PC. However I forgot to backup my Firefox Bookmarks, using either the Firefox backup feature or backing up my Firefox profile data to an external drive.

I was however using Firefox sync to sync my Bookmarks between my Windows PC and Android phone. On my Android phone, I can see that all of my Bookmarks are there.

Is there a way to restore my WIndows PC Firefox Bookmarks from the Bookmarks on my Android Phone? Maybe my understanding of the sync feature is not right - I know Firefox Windows bookmarks are sync'd out to other devices like Android. However, does it work in teh reverse also whereby Android Firefox bookmarks are sync's back to the WIndows PC ?

Thanks in adnace for any assistance Ken

Issue resolved. I re-sync'd my Android Phone with my WIndows PC and all the bookmarks now show on Windows Firefox.
