I want to sync from desktop Firefox to my android browser, NOT the mobile firefox; I can't use mobile firefox. Is there any way to do this?

I want to synch my bookmarks to my Android phone, but nothing I've tried works. Gmarks doesn't work. Xmarks doesn't work, Firefox Snych doesn't work (I am NOT installing Mobile Firefox because it won't work with my phone).

IS there any way I can upload my Firefox contacts to Google Contacts and then synch my Google Contacts to my android's browser? (I mean the default browser, not Firefox).

(1) Bookmarks

All the apps I see in the "Play" app store for importing bookmarks have pretty bad reviews. What do you think about hosting your bookmarks online and accessing them by loading that page? It is an extra step but might be a useful workaround in the short run. Of course, finding a site that works well also could be a challenge...

(2) Contacts

When you say Firefox contacts, do you mean the ones in a particular webmail site? Or Thunderbird?

Whops, sorry I meant to say "bookmarks" not "contacts." Duhoh! My Android phone already syncs my contacts via Thunderbird and the Google Contacts add-on. If only there was something like that for bookmarks and Firefox.
