I have an old phone which runs Android 4.4.2. The manufacturer does not let me upgrade the OS to a later version. The phone has a copy of the most recent version of Firefox for Android 4.4.2, which is Firefox 68.0. In case it matters, it's the version of Firefox from F-Droid. As it is not possible to upgrade the OS version, it is also not possible to upgrade the Firefox version.

This version of Firefox is too old for Firefox Sync. It is possible to log in, but nothing is synchronised.

I need to copy all bookmarks from the phone to my computer. How can I do this?

Hi

I appreciate that this is not the easiest way but you will have to copy and paste the website address into an email or a Google document to then transfer and add them to a new device.

You could root your device and access the profile folder, but this risks losing the information that you would like to keep.
