Firefox Sync messes up Bookmarks (sort order, multiple instances) - 6+ Year Old Problem

Very long-standing issue that keeps getting closed without resolution. My bookmarks won't stay sorted in the Bookmark Menus folder. The last solution I saw is a broken link having to do with corrupt 'Places'. Doesn't work anyway. I only have another device syncing with Firefox and not very often because I seldom use that laptop. Always this desktop.

I do have a lot of bookmarks over the years and it just keeps getting worse. If I Manage Bookmarks and sort them, they only stay sorted as long as I open that window separately. When I close it, the bookmarks are unsorted again. When will Firefox fix this? It's leaving a mess that is making my bookmarks unusable. When I click on that tab, I expect to see a bunch of folders, then files. Instead, I see files, then folders somewhere in the middle, mixed with other folders I don't even use, then a bunch more files. Sort by name doesn't show up as an option if I right click in the middle of all the files I see.

I have tried to delete those files, but they won't stay deleted. It's pulling them from somewhere, but I don't know where that 'somewhere' is. Does anybody have an idea how to contact Firefox tech support for an answer? Nobody seems to know what's going on with this issue. I won't list all my bookmarks, because some are more personal than others. This is just an idea. Please be nice. I've been using Firefox forever and a day.
