this combined with #7325 would pretty much free you from your browser. It's the stuff of dreams 🤤

Take a look for yourself. Then, why are both of these issues still open?

Far out, please take a breath and read things carefully. The bugzilla link is about HTML exports, and clearly says JSON exports does include them. I'm not sure what other issue you are referring to, but this issue as written is correct. The comment I replied to was not.

I'm annoyed with firefox. I use it for a very long time. It's a very good GNU(!) browser. I like the addons to move in the Internet as anonymous as possible.

This is my data and nobody should be allowed to access (GDPR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation).

In former versions there was the possibility to mess with "browser.db" to save your bookmarks. Gone! (I want to move to a new ROM on my phone and want to save my bookmarks before, no chance)

Now you want to force me to use "Sync". I have no clue what you do with my data. So, I will never use it. Why is nobody telling us where the bookmarks are stored? I don't understand you! Why don't you give the users the option to save their(!) bookmarks?

I will not use firefox on my mobile in the future!

Why doing many hoops digging into internal system for browser.db while we can just save everything externally (offline) from start?

I save my bookmarks in encrypted Markdown Text (Passworded Archive also will do). And use Keepass to save all my Passwords. This won't be a big problem compared to digging system partition and a database file. Yeah, I've done that database grabbing long time ago, not worth it if it continue to increase-decrease.

I just don't save anything in any browser, at least not for long. Synced them on my Cloud Drive if needed and under my own choice.

Synced them on my Cloud Drive

Thanks for the reply, but this is my wish:

I don't want to use any Internet storage, cloud, whatever you name it!

Where are my(!) bookmarks stored on my(!) storage of my(!) phone?

They are stored in a sqlite file named places.db in the app's directory.

They are stored in a sqlite file named `places.db

no, places.db is not existing here.

in the app's directory.

Which directory exactly?
/data/app ?

I'm rooted, oneplus 7 pro oos10.0.15GM27BA, fennec fdroid 86.1.1

My mistake, it is called places.sqlite in the app directory. I can't give you the exact directory name until I return next week from travel so have access to my emulator. The filename is specified at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/b827bd3c9c90a315001be415380e8d748894017d/components/browser/storage-sync/src/main/java/mozilla/components/browser/storage/sync/Connection.kt#L74

Location is /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/places.sqlite if you 're using f-droid's one.

And it is really weird that places.sqlite is outside of profile path ( `/data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/mozilla/xxxx.default)
It will much hard to implement switching profiles like desktop's one in fenix (I know this feature is not on your roadmap)

There's a tool (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fennec-profile-manager) for old fennec which could export to/import from local filesystem. Android's sharedUserId and signing with the same key as Fennec make this tool work (so do not work for f-droid's one) . But its primary task is to make mozilla developer and tester to test migration from fennec to fenix easily.
It would be nice to have similar tool for fenix. (if we have no switching profiles feature , we could use this tool to do it manually )

This is all done on purpose so that people are dependent on the "ecosystem". And it doesn't matter which one. They are all connected in one way or another. Google's ruling hand is deep in Mozilla's "dark place", so there's no point in asking and waiting.
Look for a browser that supports local import/export.
