How can I bookmark all my tabs on iOS mobile app?
I have probably over 100 tabs open on my iphone app and I want to make sure they are all saved since many of them are important. There are so many that the app often crashes if I try and go back far manually instead of just using the switch tab feature. I know there's a way on desktop to do this action but I can't seem to find a way on mobile. I am hoping that I can avoid having to manually go and bookmark each tab one by one.
So is there an easy way that I can bookmark all my open tabs on mobile?

Hello,
Unfortunately, this functionality does not exist within Firefox for IOS at this time.
You could get around this by sending those tabs to your desktop machine while logged into Firefox on Desktop. Then bookmark all the tabs and sync your Firefox account. This way those tabs are accessible from your phone after you sync.
It will be a bit tedious to do that, but its an option.
I hope this helps.
Hi splater46, do you Sync your iOS tabs to your desktop Firefox?
If so, they should be listed in the Synced Tabs sidebar. There isn't a direct shortcut for that, but if you open the bookmarks sidebar using Ctrl+B (on MacOS, Commandd+B), you can use the heading to switch to Synced Tabs.
Firefox (for desktop) doesn't have a way to export these, but you do have the option to bulk bookmark them using:
- right-click the device name > Open All in Tabs
- wait a long time
- (menu bar) Bookmarks > Bookmark All Tabs (or Command+Shift+D)
There is a "back door" way to generate a list of those tabs using a script in the Browser Console. This is a bit hackerish and not officially supported. If you're curious:
Step 0 is to set up the Browser Console so you can run scripts there:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future. Since we have had this setting for a long time and I use it myself, I feel comfortable mentioning it.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste devtools.chrome.enabled and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the devtools.chrome.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
IMPORTANT: This is a powerful feature that can make deep changes to Firefox. Only run scripts you trust!
Step 1 is to open the Browser Console:
Ctrl+Shift+J (on MacOS, Command+Shift+J) will do the job
Step 2 is to paste in the script and press Enter/Return to run it:

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about what it does.
