I'm now only using apps from the firefox marketplace and the f-droid repo, and I have no google on my Android phone (4.2.2). I have the latest Firefox (24.0 at this time).

I want to be able to backup the installed Firefox apps so that I can re-flash my phone to factory defaults if needed.

Hello,

I'm afraid I don't believe it is currently possible to backup the apps you have installed from the Firefox marketplace on an Android phone.

I do have two suggestions:

  1. If you go to the Firefox Marketplace on a PC and log in you can find the complete list of all applications you have ever installed under the cog in the top right and 'My Apps'. If you need to restore apps you can find the list of which apps to install from there.
  1. If your phone is rooted you could use Titanium backup to do a complete backup of your phone. If something happened you could restore this backup. I believe Firefox apps would be included.

I hope this helps.
