Can I recover reader list from my bricked tablet?
I have Firefox Sync, so I could recover my bookmarks from a currently bricked tablet. But what about the reading list? It's quite populated by the stuff I planned to read this summer, and for most of them I don't have links anymore. Is the data saved in the cloud, perhaps? If not, where exactly in the file structure (Android) are the files for the reader list kept, in case the tablet is unbricked enough to recover the data? I'll be grateful for any help.

Hi
Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.
It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.
If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
