How to export bookmarks from Mozilla Account
I cannot figure out how to export my bookmarks from Mozilla Account. On the desktop browser when I open "Manage Bookmarks" and select Phil's Bookmarks, I am able to export the bookmarks from the Mozilla account.
The resulting html export file does not contain the bookmarks from Mozilla Account. There also does not seem to be a way to export those bookmarks from your online Mozilla Account interface.
How do I export the bookmarks from my Mozilla Account?
Thank you Philip Rittscher

You can't export the Mozilla Account bookmarks from within the Firefox Bookmarks Manager (Library). On the Sync server the bookmarks from all connected devices are stored and in the sidebar and other bookmarks drop-down menus you can you can find them in the Mobile Bookmarks folder. I can't remember whether they are included in an HTML or JSON backup.
You can install the About Sync extension to check what data is stored on the Sync server via the about:sync page provided by this extension.
Close and restart Firefox to access the about:sync page added by this extension (see the about:about page for possible about pages).

Sorry, in the first sentence I meant to say "I am unable to export the bookmarks from the Mozilla account"...

Thanks, this did help! After I installed the add-on and loaded the about:sync page there is a small section at the bottom of the page "Data provider options" that allowed me to export the bookmarks (mobile included) as json.
Much appreciated.
