How to export bookmarks from iPad?

I'm away for a month for work and I need access to hundreds of bookmarks, but I can not find anywhere in the Firefox menus on how to export them. I normally work on my Mac computer at home but it's a desktop so I just took my iPad and I'm using a temporary laptop provided by work and I need those bookmarks ASAP. I made sure that Firefox sync was on so that all the bookmarks would be on the iPad and they are, but I can not find the export menu anywhere. They are all highly customized bookmarks and there's no reasonable way to re-create them without manually doing hours and hours of work, and even if I had the time I may not be able to recreate them anyway because the bookmarks were created using my client's data while I was on my Mac computer. I doubt I could recreate them without being on the Mac anyway. And I can't work on the iPad because I need the programs and other information on the laptop to work so I'm hoping someone will reply ASAP! If I can't get those bookmarks I'm screwed because I'm here to do the work that is in those bookmarks and I won't be flying back across the country to my home for a month! Firefox admin people: Please reply quickly so I can get those bookmarks! Thanks.

I don't see any way to export bookmarks from an iPad either. I assume the laptop you have is using Windows? You could try downloading iCloud for Windows. I've never done this, but it seems you should be able to sync the two.

It's a Chromebook, and it has the Google Play store so I tried installing Firefox for Android and seeing if there was an export ability there, but unfortunately not. I can access the bookmarks but using the mobile version of the browser won't work for me because there are some applications that will allow access with a full browser but just give error messages when trying to access via a mobile browser so unfortunately I have to use Chrome. I think the mobile version of the Firefox browser is very underdeveloped so it appears I'm out of luck.
