Hi All

Quick Question - I was stupid and reset my account forgetting I had a recovery key so lost all my data. I realized an old iphone still has most of my bookmarks - how can I export from Firefox iOS app without syncing with my firefox account (which will then wipe out the data)

is this possible? Or could I create a new firefox account, then login into on my phone while keeping my bookmarks? Then export when the new account sync my old phone's data by logging into the new account on my computer? Thanks!!

Hey there, I hope you are doing well. As far as I know, since Firefox on iOS doesn’t allow direct export of bookmarks, you can try this workaround: create a new Firefox account and log into it on your old iPhone to sync your bookmarks. Then, log into this new account on your computer, which will sync the bookmarks there as well. From the computer, you can easily export the bookmarks for backup. Mike Taku.
