Sync my PC with my mobile device. Lost my PC bookmarks and other sync related material.
So I received a BSOD on my Windows 10 PC the other night and lost all of my sync information; most importantly my bookmarks. I have them all on my cellphone since my phone was connected to the sync feature. How do I get my bookmarks off my Samsung phone back to my PC?
Tried to access the options through my PC via Menu > History (Library) > Import & Backup - but there is only two options available; both of which are blank restore periods from my newly restarted PC.
Tried to access the options through my cellphone via Menu > Settings > *my e-mail address* & profile icon > Sync Now + other options - to no result.
Is there a way, manually that I can pull this information off my phone.
Update: as of this moment, during my typing, two tabs synced off my cellphone but the rest did not successfully; there is hundreds.

Well I have a hope that you have checked all boxes at here : about:preferences#sync (Type the command into url on desktop). enable sync on both devices ,make sure you are using an updated version of firefox at both places as well as same account logged in both where.

it will not take much time to sync all but give it a try for doing it 2-3 times.

Yes, this is one of the first things I checked. All boxes in the options section are checked off - tabs, bookmarks, passwords, excreta. As far as refreshing the sync multiple times I did this before and after your mentions and still the same results. The easiest way for me to sync at this point is to extract the data (bookmarks rather) from my cellphone and just carry it over to my computer; the guaranteed method just not as easy as I though.
Any recommendations on how to extract the information from my cellphone to my desktop? Samsung Galaxy S5.
