Firefox for Android - how to import bookmarks?

Post by simon6776 »

I have an HTC M9 phone, and they are shortly discontinuing their default browser, so I am left with the task of finding an alternative. I chose Firefox as I have been using SeaMonkey on my PC and laptop for many years, and trust the Mozilla 'brand'. I have found documentation stating that it is possible to import bookmarks from another browser by going to Settings > Customise, where there is apparently an Import option. However, I cannot find either the Customise option, or any Import functions within Settings, Tools, or anywhere else in the browser. I see there is a 'Sync' feature, but I don't want or need to use that as this is the only device which I will be using Firefox on, and I don't like all this 'signing in' business every time I want to look at a webpage. Is there any way to import Bookmarks in the current Firefox for Android, without using the Sync function (which I am not convinced will do the job anyway)?

Thanks for any advice.

Short of adding all your bookmarks manually, I'm afraid that Sync is the only way of doing it.

Also, you have to login with a Firefox account before you can sync.
