I want to access all my bookmarks that I have saved in Firefox for Android. I came upon this article that seems to suggest that there is a dedicated Bookmarks tab in FF for Android.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-delete-and-view-bookmarked-webpages-firefox-an#w_bookmarks-panel

But I don't see any such tabs in my android app. I want to backup all the bookmarks I have without using sync, because I want them backed up locally, not online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to: 1. Get the bookmarks tab to show up. OR 2. Backup all bookmarks locally without using sync.

Using latest verison of Firefox for Android on my Oneplus 3T updated to latest version of Android available for it.

Tap the URL bar. The 'Bookmarks' item is hard to miss.

Nope. No such item.

I did find the solution, though. You need to go to Settings > General > Home, and enable Bookmarks under the "Panels" section. This makes all my Bookmarks show up in the homepage when I open a new empty tab.

Then, it was just a question of copying the addresses and pasting in a notepad app.
