Opening all tabs from one Android device on another new one

Hello, I have one Android phone with Firefox and many, many tabs open in it. I am going to migrate to another Android and would like to have all those tabs open on the new device. I googled and found Firefox sync. Tried that but on the new device all the tabs are visible in a list of tabs from the other devices but they are not opened ! I would need to go through all of them and then open each (too many to do that manually). Is there any semi-automatic way of having all the tabs from the old device opened (as tabs) on the new device ?

If there is no such way I can alos try low-level solutions i.e.: that requires accessing both phones over USB and copying particular files.

Bumping up :-) No such solutions ? Even with "hacking" (i.e.: copying files over USB) ?!

So firstly if I'm not mistaken you should do your back up on the Firefox for PC, at least that's what my account says. If that is the way you did it then you may just have to many tabs. Ive read there may be some kind to limit set on the transfer of certain files at a time and maybe open tabs fall in that category. Someone suggested bookmark them all then transfer

Let's say I have over 100 tabs open in Firefox for Android. How do I bookmark them in bulk ?
