I have pressed clear data for Firefox in Android Application manager. On SGS4 it is Settings->Options->Application manager->Fitefox->Clear data. Can I restore my bookmarks now?

Android's Clear Data button completely deletes your Firefox settings files. I am not aware of any way to undo that unless there is an "unerase" tool for Android files as there are on desktop operating systems.

Some ways you might have made a copy of those bookmarks:

  • Did you ever set up Firefox Sync and sync the bookmarks to a Firefox Account?
