I have 'synced' my old phone. Now I have new phone with a Firefox that I used for setup, which has a few open tabs and maybe a couple b9kmarks. I want to 'restore' everything fromthe old Firefox to the new. What happens if I 'sync'?

My guess is 'sync'ing the new firefox merely backs up its current state...

I have setup an account for my mobile devices, a Samsung A25 phone and a Kindle fire HD 10. My original goal was to backup/copy my browsing history from the kindle fire. Tabs and bookmarks seem to be synced to my desktop from the fire but history is not. History from the Samsung appears to be synced to the desktop and the kindle fire but the fire's history does not appear on my desktop. The Firefox version on the kindle is 133.0.3 (Build #2016060959), hg-7ed49fe90e84+ GV: 133.0.3-20241209150345 AS: 133.0. I have tried signing out and in repeatedly on both the desktop and the kindle and did sync now many times. I really want to save this history and I don't think I should have to root the device, with all the problems that causes, just to copy the history file.
