I have many search engines on my desktop Firefox

I know I can add them manually on Android: Settings->Search->Add new search engine

But this is very time consuming (especially if I need to restore them for some reason, as I think Sync dose not backup search engines).

Is there some file that I can edit by connecting my phone to my pc? Or some other way to easily transfer my search engines to my phone?

Hi

I am sorry, not at this time. You will need to add them manually.
