Add an "export everything" option

[b-schliessmann]

Disclaimer: I'm an experienced user at most, but no FF developer.

I'd like an option to export everything stored in the FF sync account.

Use case: When FF crashes, especially on mobile, it tends to lose data (e.g. open tabs). So I'd like to back up the synced data periodically. At present, I open about:sync, click the tab "Records (table)" for every category and copy the contents to a text file manually.

As there already is an export option which, unfortunately, only exports bookmark information, this has a chance to be a trivial change.

Seconded! I've been faithfully making monthly JSON exports and today when trying to recover a synced tab's URL that had been lost … oops! No record.

I didn't realise that the "Export to file…" button was only going to dump the bookmarks.

I was disappointed to find that the export button excludes most of the synced information, and only seems to include bookmarks (which are the easiest bit to export by other means).

An option to include everything or to select which datatypes to include would be very useful.

I came across this plugin while trying to retrieve all my synced open tabs from Firefox on my Android device. This addon seems like the closest to solving my problem, however, I noticed that the tabs themselves are not exported. Is there a way to retrieve a list of all open tabs from a synced device?
