Hi, I had issues with Firefox bookmarks on my PC (Win8) : a backup doesn't recover every items from my bookmarks (HTML and .json backups). I use Firefox Sync but the issue on my PC is synced on Mozilla servers, too bad. So I want to copy bookmarks from my Firefox for Android which was on the same Sync account, without connecting to the Internet. I've found the browser.db file with https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/950536 but don't understand how I can find my bookmarks in this file (I've used with Notepad++ or others, this doesn't look good) Thanks ;)

Edit : the browser.db file can be found at the file path "/ Device / data / data / org.mozilla.firefox / files / mozilla / xxxxxxxx.default" with a "root file explorer" (like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop)

Thanks! This resolve my problem, here how for others users :

- I've installed the free SQLite Database Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) on my PC - I've opened the browser.db file from Firefox Android with this soft and export the "bookmarks" table to an Excel table - I reworked it on Excel - Then a created an importable HTML file for the importation on Firefox desktop

Have a good day!

Unless you are a programmer you are unlikely to be able to get useful data out of the file. If I recall correctly the file should be an SQLite database.
