I've lost all my saved home screen Firefox bookmarks after inadvertently deleting the programme recently. Having restored Firefox is there a file with these bookmarks saved that I can access ? I'm running a nexus 7 and didn't sync automatically or back-up otherwise. Thanks

hello Rhodjones, if you don't have used sync or have any other backup available then i fear this data is lost for good, since the uninstall of an app on android also triggers the deletion of its profile data and customizations.

if you use firefox on desktop as well then you could use sync in order to move those bookmarks over to your nexus device: How do I set up Sync on my computer?
