My original laptop died, but I have Firefox Home installed and sync'd with old laptop on my iPad.

Can I import my bookmarks etc from my ipad/Firefox Home to my new laptop? If so how?

Thanks

Hi Ben,

Unfortunately Firefox Home only receives information and doesn't upload anything. That said, if you still have the Recovery key you can save your data if that's in our servers: How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately it doesn't help me out, but all is not lost as I remembered that xmarks backs up bookmarks as well as passwords. So xmarks reinstalled/sync'd with their server and all is well again on my new computer.
