Backup inactive tabs from Android

I'm trying to copy my Firefox from one Android phone to another. Is there any way to separate the history that's on my phone from what I have on my PC when I do a sync? I really don't want to have the history from the PC sync to the new phone if possible. Also, I noticed that when I rebooted the phone and open Firefox back up, it has a list of inactive tabs. Is there a way to back them up or sync them to the PC, too? Maybe it'd be easier if Firefox had a way to copy my profile from my phone, but I haven't found a way to do it. Thanks.

Hi

If you go to about:preferences#sync in Firefox on your desktop, you will be able to deselect the data types that you do not wish to be syncced to your other devices.

It is currently not possible to sync inactive tabs, but this may be something that is considered in a future update.
