Move Mull data to Firefox or other derivatives

For those interested in changing from Mull (now discontinued) to Firefox or any of its derivatives (Fennec, IronFox…) there is this very handy tutorial to do so:

Just note that at the step to restore the backup in the new browser, you should set the correct app id.

Instead of:

adb push firefox-android-backup.tar.gz /sdcard/Android/data/org.mozilla.firefox/

for Fennec you would have to use:

adb push firefox-android-backup.tar.gz /sdcard/Android/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

Thank you for this!

Could Fennec and IronFox change the allowBackups="false" to “true”?

Or maybe allow if encrypted?

The browser keeps a lot of sensitive information, so blindly backing it all up might be risky. On the other hand, completely opting out if this (very useful) feature isn’t very user friendly.
