Firefox sync on Android does not save history

I have setup an account for my mobile devices, a Samsung A25 phone and a Kindle fire HD 10. My original goal was to backup/copy my browsing history from the kindle fire. Tabs and bookmarks seem to be synced to my desktop from the fire but history is not. History from the Samsung appears to be synced to the desktop and the kindle fire but the fire's history does not appear on my desktop. The Firefox version on the kindle is 133.0.3 (Build #2016060959), hg-7ed49fe90e84+ GV: 133.0.3-20241209150345 AS: 133.0. I have tried signing out and in repeatedly on both the desktop and the kindle and did sync now many times. I really want to save this history and I don't think I should have to root the device, with all the problems that causes, just to copy the history file.

Hi

Please appreciate that Firefox for Android is not designed with Amazon Fire devices in mind. It may not fully work as expected on that platform.

That really doesn't make sense as the bookmarks are synced so why shouldn't the history?
