Firefox for Android can't import bookmarks or other browsing data directly from another browser installed on your Android device.

Instead, first import your data into Firefox on a desktop computer, then use a Mozilla account to sync it to Firefox on Android:

  1. Sign in to your account on a desktop computer that has a desktop version of that browser installed.
  2. Once signed in, install a desktop copy of Firefox onto that computer.
  3. With Firefox installed, follow this guide to import data from the other browser.
  4. Now that the data is in Firefox, you can then follow this other guide to either set up a Mozilla account or add the desktop copy of Firefox to your existing Mozilla account.

On your Android device, when signed in to the same account in Firefox, your bookmarks, passwords and other data will be synced across.

Firefox for Android lets you import bookmarks directly to your device from an HTML file.
