1809963 - Option to export browser profile folder/settings to local storage

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Christian Sadilek [:csadilek]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/2080.

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

There is no way to locally back up the Fenix profile and settings without having root access to the device and manually copying the folder/settings (which is still not an adequate backup).

It is tedious and time consuming to set up or customize the browser on a new install, new phone or in case of accidental data loss.

What / Requirements

Add an easy way for people to export profile folder/settings to a local storage or SD card such as in a single zip file

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

Add an easy way for people to export profile folder/settings locally so that the same backup is able to be imported back into Fenix as an EXACT copy of the backup (extensions, extension settings, preferences and settings, themes etc.) for example on a new phone.
