Firefox for Android Community Forum

My android tablet was running our of space so I transfered FF using x explorer to a sd card without first backing up bookmarks. Bad idea. X explorer created a zip file which I could install back to my tablet. I redownloaded ff. I desire to import or transfer my bookmarks but can not find them. My zip files are: base.apk; split_config.arm64_v8a.apk; split_config.hdpi.apk; Any suggestions?

I just read what I think addresses my problem but I'm too thick to Understand it all. My goal is to make my android browsing as private as possible without messing anything else up. Obviously I failed. In trying to do that I made it I made my bookmarks unreachable. What can I do to start over? Gary

I have Firefox in my laptop and also mobile phone I was tidying them up last night and they were all on both devices. This morning the most recent bookmarks are missing from both. I tried to "restore" but this still does not bring back my recent bookmarks. Is there any way I can recover them. Many thanks

Hi everyone,

unfortunately the device "Xiaomi" ... is the one that by accident I clicked close tabs (I have a neuromuscular disease) and the all dissappeared. This Xiaomi I was bookmarking all my open tabs and inactive tabs, to move them all to the new device. Unfortunately they disappeared. everything. I switched off internet connection immediately, because syncing Because syncing to other devices is always with tabs.... and this way, I always moved the synced tabs from an android phone to Desktops, opened them there all and bookmarked.

Now last time I synced desktop (Lenovo) was one year ago. I tried on a new one with another Redmi phone, but I can't see yhe Xiaomi one, only to this new one...S 15449.

The thing is I see the bookmarks from this one to my Xiaomi, and this Redmi was synced to my Xiaomi, where it says it has the information before the accident (the Xiaomi is offline now) but it's not showing in the tabs region "see other devices" only the new S 15449.

I add some pictures. Shouldn't this device seeing the Xiaomi as it was before? I hope you could help me please 🙏🏻🥺. It was over 100 Tabs they're re very important to me. On the third photo I even can see them "opened" but how to see them here, besides what pops in my head there were there.

Best wishes, Margarita

All of my bookmarks are gone. Four years of painstakingly organizing and labeling hundreds of items and links a d documentation gone.

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

So today i accident clicked clear data because i thought i clicked clear cache now i lost all my password and previous tab and more how do i recover back in android? :( is it lost forever?

I am trying to migrate to new Android phone and I am having great difficulty with migrating the firefox profile wholesale. The adb backup method fails. The sync method will not transfer addon settings (I have extensive list of ublock origin filters). Besides I would like not to touch cloud for profile migration.

I have tried https://github.com/Rob--W/firefox-android-backup-restore but that failed epically (and I am very technical person).

I do not want to root the android (it breaks banking apps).

What now?

Really appreciate the suggestions.

I am not looking forward to re-login to all the sessions and recreate all the filters.

I did a factory reset on my phone, and I cannot find my backups for firefox, I tried doing the about:profiles, but nothing is working, it looks as if I created another account, how do I either see my other profiles or find my backups

I cleared data on phone as I was having trouble with sites but when i went to sign in also had problems with password. I did a few and then gave me 15 min wait time, I then tried 2 more and nothing so I hit recover password and all went done hill.

I have 10 years of saved passwords and autofill plus sites saved. I log in old computer now and got some of them but that is 4 yrs old data.

anyway to get it. I just did a phone backup of everything to computer a month ago. I tried to recover app on phone and shows over 400mb of data but doesn't show info.

I also have android 15,

I've been using Firefox on both my Linux PC and my Android phone for years. Yesterday when I pulled it up on the phone I was told it wouldn't work and needed an update. I checked for updates in the PlayStore and found nothing. So I uninstalled and reinstalled it. On the phone it has lost all history and password access. I took a copy of the history from the desktop site and copied the file to the phone, but can't find a way to get it to load.

I recently imported a bookmarks on my laptop last Sunday. Today, when I open firefox on my laptop, there are no bookmarks, so I restore from yesterday's backup and the imported bookmarks appeared. But all the bookmarks in my phone disappeared.

Last night my bookmarks didnt work suddenly. I tried a lot with no results. While typing internet works. I uninstalled it and installed it again. This morning i realised that most of my boomark have gone. Really headache as i have too many important website.

Trashed phone, upon restore, all home screen and all Firefox bookmarks gone, can't recover shortcuts on home screen

Samsung says "app does not allow backups"
