Accessing local HTML files on my android, sync
There are three problems, all related, that are frustrating me with Firefox on Android. I have a Samsung Galaxy 24+. I am trying to get Firefox to use a local HTML file that are my bookmarks, but I am stymied at every turn:
1) when I click on the local, Galaxy, HTML file, I get the standard "Open with" pop up, but they only list: Chrome, HTML View, Android's Internet browser, and Samsung Print Services. Why doesn't Firefox show up there? This is important to me. Is Firefox failing to register its browser properly in Galaxy products?
2) The next thing I try to do is to sync bookmarks so that I can use my hundreds of bookmarks (rather than adding them into Firefox one at a time). So, I click on the famous three vertical dots and there is no "Sync" function in that menu, see attached. So I cannot import my bookmarks from my PC's bookmarks.
3) Thirdly, I try to type into the URL field what Chrome uses to access local files, which is for example: "content://media/external/file/1000005061" but Firefox android does not recognize that. When I change it to "file://media/external/file/1000005061" that does not work either.
Can you fix the three issues above? Thanks. Rick. see attached.

Ad 2. Do you see Rick17 option? You are already logged in, sync is under it.

Sorry, I didn't mention that. OK, so I did that. But it didn't work a week ago.
Hmm, now after doing that three times, now, upon your suggestion, they appear!!!!
OK, well, thanks very much for reminding me to try that again!

In respect of points 1 and 3, it is currently not possible to open locally saved .html files in Firefox for Android.
