Hi guys How can I backup bookmarks in mull (preferably to a file) so I can restore them in another Firefox based browser?

The easiest way to do this, to my knowledge, is to get your bookmarks onto Firefox for Desktop.

Basically,

  1. Create a Firefox account on your desktop. Use an email generated with a masking service, or maybe even a throwaway one.
  2. Login with both your desktop, and when that's done, your mobile device
  3. Sync the bookmarks
  4. Destroy the Firefox account, if you want. If you used a true throwaway email, don't skip this.

It might be a little faster to share/copy the bookmarks if you only have a few in a few folders, but otherwise yeah
