Repo to Help with the export of Bookmarks from Firefox for Android (without using Firefox Sync)
!!!ONLY WORKS WITH ROOTED PHONE!!!
Instructions: (Pictures are in designated folder)
- Copy browser.db from /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/…….default/browser.db of the device (only works on rooted devices (maybe with ADB on non rooted devices?)) to usb/pc Note-: In some cases browser.db doesnt exist due to updates or other versions of firefox like the developer or focus editions. In that case places.sqlite is the file containing the bookmarks (/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox-fenix or something else following .../browser/files/mozilla/) {Not confirmed, refer to https:/musky603 for further info}
- open browser.db with sqlite Browser: https://sqlitebrowser.org/(or https://sqliteonline.com/)
- import bookmarks.sql and run it (Credits https://gist.github.com/dogancelik/b82c6eac880eb58acd2b to dogancelik)
- export as .csv file
- use https://csv-to-bookmarks.glitch.me/ to convert .csv file to .html with netscape-bookmark-file-1 header (if link doesnt work use google or use https://gist.github.com/svandragt/b8901a1643332295339b9a9b987b5389; Credits svandragt)
- import html into browser:)
Context: I needed to do this for a relative of mine, and it was moderately difficult to get this info so here it is, also I was using an Android 4.x device, so newer versions of firefox might store the bookmarks someplace else(refer above)
