Firefox browser offers the option to export the saved bookmarks into an HTML file that can used in any other browser. We can export the file to computers using the Bookmarks Manager window.
Export is not available in mobile browsers. However, after enabling the synchronization, we can sync the saved data, including mobile bookmarks, to export from the computer.
In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:

Export the Bookmarks from Firefox on Phone
Firefox browser on mobile devices does not have a direct option to share or export your bookmarks. You can only sync all your data from the mobile browser to the computer. After sync, the bookmarks will be available on the Bookmarks Manager in Firefox on your computer, where you can easily export as mentioned above.
Firefox on the computer and mobile browsers should be signed in with the same Mozilla Account ID for the sync to work. If you do not have a Mozilla account, then you can create it for free.

Bottom Line
By exporting bookmarks, you ensure that your favorite links are carried along. Although the bookmarks exporting feature is not available readily for phones, you can sync your bookmarks data to your computer and export thereon.
The web browser also has the option to import directly from Firefox; it can also import saved data like passwords, history, etc., along with bookmarks. This is effective in migrating to the desired browser.
