Thank you, Roman! I'll investigate and report back if I have any success.

Yes, that's exactly my problem, my old device isn't rooted. A mistake I will never make again...

Best wishes, David

Haven't found any "easy" way to access bookmarks or history from the console. There should be a service for this, something like Cc["@ mozilla.org/browser/nav-bookmarks-service;1 "].getService(Ci.nsINavBookmarksService) which worked in older desktop versions. But I couldn't find any example for this.

The only official solution I know is to use the Sync feature which synchronizes the opened tabs and bookmarks. Also, if you have a rooted device, it's easy to copy the entire profile folder from /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/... and then access to any browser information.

PS: Just to confirm, this worked perfectly - thank you so much!

Is there a similar trick to copy the bookmarks or the history perhaps?

With kind regards, David

I tried to connect with Nightly 68.0a1 ( http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2019/05/2019-05-19-21-37-07-mozilla-central/firefox-68.0a1.en-US.win64.installer.exe )

After the device is connected you should go to the Processes tab at the bottom and it should have Main Process inside, then you click Inspect on that process, then Console. And window.BrowserApp.tabs should work there.

The interface of the debugging window has changed since the last time I used it so I had to check how to access the browser global dev console. The main concept here is that you access the process console, not just a particular tab console.

Ok, I think I found a suitable Nightly version now but get the same error.

Sorry for the naive question -- am I perhaps in the wrong type of console? I click on "Tabs", then next to a tap "Inspect" and then in the new window I select "Console". There I paste the code you suggested and get the "TypeError: window.BrowserApp is undefined".

What can I try and do differently?

Thank you for your kind advice!

Best wishes, David

Further details:

My Fennec version seems to be 68.9.

Correct version but no nightly, limited debugging support?

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/68.9.0esr/win64/en-GB/

Nightly but too old (not "68.9")

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2019/05/2019-05-19-21-37-07-mozilla-central-l10n/firefox-68.0a1.en-GB.win64.installer.exe

Nightly and works...

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2019/05/2019-05-21-09-44-47-mozilla-central-l10n/firefox-69.0a1.en-GB.win64.installer.exe --> ** using this on my PC **

Nightly but too new:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2020/06/2020-06-02-21-53-59-mozilla-central-l10n/firefox-79.0a1.en-GB.win64.installer.exe

Ah, so I to get the latest Nightly for release 68!

Many thanks and Kind regards, David

Hi. I guess it's because you should use Firefox Nightly on your desktop. There should be a download link on the main Firefox page. This type of Firefox gives you more freedom accessing internal properties and protected stuff. But I'll check it when I have some time, maybe window.BrowserApp doesn't exist in the newer versions.

Brilliant work, and thank you so much for also helping in the forums!

I'm a bit new to this and have an Android Firefox 68.9 on a phone from which I need to copy the list of open tabs (a couple hundred, so your extension waking up the zombies would take too much RAM as you explained).

I've now managed to install Firefox ESR 68.9 also on my desktop, enable USB debugging, and connected to my phone.

When I click on the phone name I get an overview of open tabs (yay! I need these in a text file!) and add-ons but I don't get a console. When I click the Inspect button next to one of the listed tabs, I get about:devtools-toolbox, which has Inspector and Console sub-tabs. When I paste var _tabs = window.BrowserApp.tabs; into the console, I get the error message TypeError: window.BrowserApp is undefined

Obviously I'm doing something wrong - can you give me any pointer in the right direction, please?

Thank you!

Kind regards, David
