Sync bookmarks by default to one bookmarks folder

[tom91]

Just have one bookmarks folder both for mobile and desktop browser, having an additional "desktop bookmarks" folder on your phone just makes the whole process of adding bookmarks that much longer, if you want them added to an overall bookmarks folder, which is the whole point of syncing devices is it not? (If anything, have a "mobile bookmarks" folder, for if you want to only add the bookmark to your mobile, and let the user choose under settings (on firefox on their mobile) where the bookmarks by default go to.

Is there no way to delete the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder?

I got rid of Firefox on all my devices because of this defect. There's no excuse for this implementation.

It's so inconvenient to have separate sets of bookmarks for mobile and desktop. While they both get synced on all the devices, being separate makes the whole point of syncing very confusing and not a seamless experience at all.

On mobile the experience is even worse if your primary well-organized bookmark set is your desktop one, since that forces you to access a deeply nested menu with 2 extra clicks.

The current approach seems safer from a developer perspective when syncing new accounts with already existing bookmarks on the different devices, you just put them in different app-reserved folders and prevent merge clutters, duplicates, messy sorting... Maybe there should be an opt-in setting under the account sync settings that enables you to just have 1 set of bookmarks for all the devices. You would then have to manually remove duplicates, reorganise items, etc. But the trade-off would be worth it.

BTW, I think Vivaldi's Android UX on this matter is really well executed, specially on the mobile end.
