Hello,

I use the option to sync my bookmarks to my Mozilla account and I use the same bookmarks on the Desktop and Android version of Firefox.

What bothers me that when I want to open a bookmark on the Android version of Firefox I have to go through multiple folders to access my Desktop bookmarks (tap "Bookmarks" -> Desktop bookmarks -> Bookmarks Toolbar -> bookmark I'm looking for) every single time I want to open a bookmark.

I think it would be great for Firefox to "remember/save" the folder you opened the last bookmark from and the next time you tap "Bookmarks" in the menu, the folder you last were in opens. Of course, when you close Firefox and you open it again and tap "Bookmarks" you would be brought back to the menu it usually opens when you do that. What I want to say is that Firefox "remembers/saves" the folder you last opened a bookmark per session and resets upon closing the app.

I know that this is a minor and petty feature, but I would love for it to be implemented in some kind of way.

i really don't know how this simple design oversight still hasn't been fixed when ios safari's had it for so many years. in fact, i think safari might somehow be the only mobile browser i've ever used that does this

This may seem like a superficial feature, but it's what's actively stopping me from switching to Firefox fully.

I have A LOT of bookmarks, all painstakingly organized in their relevant subfolders. It's fine on desktop, but it's HELL to navigate through on mobile, that's sometimes 5 folders deep I have to go through every single time I want to navigate to a different bookmark in the same folder!

Now even though Firefox for Android remembers the folder that you last saved a bookmark and it does not save it to that folder unless you go in and say edit right after it's bookmarked it always defaults to the main mobile bookmarks folder unless you edit it's save location.

Please add bookmark sorting feature to Android mobile. And include saving bookmarks to last saved in folder unless turned off in settings.
