Allow us to pin a bookmarks folder to the homepage on Firefox Mobile.

[Husenberg]

Using bookmarks on mobile is pretty annoying. Your options are: 1) using uncustomizable shortcuts; 2) using the (...) menu to open bookmarks and 3) pin "latest bookmarks" to homepage and click "show all". Option 1 is pretty much out of the question if you use a lot of bookmarks and/or need folders; Options 2 and 3 have you clicking a lot to get to the bookmarks toolbar, which is extremely annoying.

Also, adding something to bookmarks on mobile, doesn't bring up the menu to choose where it ends up, and doesn't have a way to set up a default location, which forces me to then go into the bookmarks menu and manually move them. Having a default location option and the desktop-style bookmarking menu would be much appreciated.

I suggest an option for the current bookmarks widget or a new widget altogether for the homepage, that would just allow you to pin a bookmark folder (Bookmarks\Desktop\Bookmarks Toolbar in my case). Widgets usually have limited space, so I suggest having an arrow/show all button that will expand to show the whole folder (and you should have the option to have it expanded by default). Also, preferably in a list format rather than tiles with thumbnails.

Alternatively add a bookmarks menu to the tab button menu, but this way the whole homepage is just wasted space for me, so I would prefer the former option.

A bookmarks widget is essential! Samsung did a very good job with the bookmarks widget on their browser. Their widget is customizable and resizable and has folders. Hopefully, FIrefox will do even better!

+1 for this. Bookmarks on Firefox mobile is simply terrible. I love Firefox on desktop but it's ridiculously difficult to use on mobile.

The Homepage is a neat idea and the Add To Shortcuts is a good start, but it's unwieldy because the Shortcuts section on the Homepage gets cluttered with web pages from the history - and when you remove one, it just puts another in its place. AND you have to do this by vising a page and adding it.

There should at least be an option for the Homepage that shows your bookmarks.

Any of the options of the OP and the other posts would work to make it much, much better.

Display Bookmark Folders on Home Page

I'm moving to Firefox from Safari and I desperately miss how the Safari homepage displays all of my bookmarks IN THEIR FOLDERS, and IN THE ORDER I ORGANIZED THEM IN. It makes it so much easier to quickly access what I need without opening a bunch of drop-down menus. When you display bookmarks in the form of Recent Activity or Shortcuts on the Firefox homepage, they're just thrown out willy-nilly, not in folders or any kind of organizational system. PLEASE make this at least an option!!!

Similar idea here: Firefox bookmarks on the new tab page -- prohibit for select sites 

Also, a Product Manager just kicked off a discussion on improving the homepage: Share Your Thoughts on the Home / "New Tab" Page! 🖥️ [thread 2] 

We invite you to join the conversation and add your thoughts! Looking forward to collaborating together 😃

Hey all,

A Firefox Product Manager just kicked off a discussion here on Mozilla Connect about improving the Firefox Mobile homepage: Firefox Mobile Users: Share Your Thoughts on the Mobile Homepage! 📱 

Check it out and add your thoughts there. It's a great opportunity to share feedback and communicate directly with the team working on this feature.

Hope to see ya there 🙌

Hey this would be great on desktop too, or a more robust customizable homepage would also be great!

Maybe custom rss feeds, splitting recent pages from pinned, letting us add a pinned page without having to edit an existing recent page...block thingy etc.

+1 Either allow to pin a bookmarks folder to the home page or pin a specific folder to the hamburger (settings) menu.

Its important to have book mark folders on home screen. It can make a world of difference.

Unbelievable. Years later and this problem still exists. It would help if it simply would remember the bookmark folder last opened. But obviously thats too complicated. This one persistent issue (and arm64 support) forced me to try and move to Edge. Now I want to switch back but the boookmark/android situation makes this impossible.

I like Firefox on Android, to the point that I've set it as my default browser, eschewing Chrome - which is not a trivial feat, as Chrome tries to take over twice a week.

HOWEVER, I just don't like the homepage as it is. I have a couple of bookmarks that I have to find quickly - I'm using them as online apps, basically - and they get mixed in with lots of links from the history. I only bookmarked very few pages not to have to wade through menus to find them, and I get history items bogging me down? It's unfriendly. I don't want any history in my homepage. I only want the few bookmarks I need. There is no option to have only bookmarks in the homepage. Could we please have that?

Alternatively, or in addition, a tool to make bookmarks into independent widgets would be very welcome.

Please let me see my bookmarks on the homepage

The fact that this isn't the default is baffling.
