Hi,
Currently, we don't have a way to import bookmarks from the Moto Razor built in browser. But, you can import the bookmarks from your desktop Firefox to Firefox mobile using Sync. See this article for details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync-firefox-between-desktop-and-mobile
Thanks, Michelle
OK then could Mozilla please work on adding these feature into Firefox Mobil that or an extension that would allow someone to do this thanks.
I agree that this would be a very useful extension for Firefox mobile.

Steel is not the built-in Android browser - although it appears to be based upon it. Does it store bookmarks in the same place as the built-in Android browser?
The Android 4 users guide PDF (linked here, page 97) claims bookmarks are part of the built-in data backup feature - but I can't see any way of getting access to them. They don't, for example, seem to get synced with Google Bookmarks
I suppose one (tortuous) option (requiring a 'normal' PC) would be: install Google Chrome on the desktop, use ChromeMarks (mentioned here) to get the bookmarks into Chrome, transfer them from Chrome to the desktop version of Firefox (perhaps into a new & empty profile), and then finally using Firefox Sync as mentioned above.
N.B. There is also this question, although it may not currently/yet have any answers that would help you.

Actually it is possible to import the bookmarks from the stock browser the Dolphin HD browser has the ability to do this so if they can do it so can anyone else can so when the Mozilla team has some free time they need to add this to Firefox Mobil.
