Why are newly added bookmarks placed at the bottom of bookmark folders instead of the top?

Hello,

I would like to understand why Firefox places newly added bookmarks at the bottom of the selected bookmark folder instead of at the top.

In most cases, users want quick access to the bookmarks they have just saved. When a folder contains many bookmarks, having new entries appended to the bottom makes them harder to find and requires additional scrolling.

Is this behavior intentional? If so, what is the reasoning behind it? Has Mozilla considered adding an option that allows users to choose whether new bookmarks are inserted at the top or bottom of a folder?

I believe placing new bookmarks at the top, or providing a configurable option, would improve usability for many users.

Thank you.

This looks intentional rather than a broken folder. Firefox keeps the folder order stable and appends a newly created bookmark at the end, so it does not unexpectedly push older manually arranged items down. I agree it is not ideal when a folder has many entries. I do not know of a built-in preference that changes the insertion point to the top. The practical workaround is to open the bookmarks sidebar or Library and drag the new bookmark where you want it, or keep a small temporary to-sort folder for new saves. For a real top/bottom option, this would need to be a feature request rather than a support setting.
