Is there any way to organize bookmarks into folders? Is there a way to import bookmarks from another (default) browser (besides the native browser or Chrome) ?

I have quite a few bookmarks in my current default browser (CM Browser) and don't relish the thought of manually recreating them all. I also want to keep them organized by categories. The folder system is very helpful.

The permission model for Android does not allow other apps access to their settings. Chrome and the Android stock browser have some special access rules that allow other apps to see the bookmarks. So it is only possible to import bookmarks from Chrome or the stock Android browser.

Bookmark management can be done in desktop Firefox via Firefox Sync. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync
