To import bookmarks and other data from another browser installed on your Android device:

  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.

Important notes

  • Keep Firefox open until the import finishes.
  • Import time depends on the amount of data being imported.
  • If your imported data doesn't appear immediately, wait a few moments for the import to complete.
  • When importing from a file, make sure you select a supported HTML file.
