I'm a heavy bookmark user. I have numerous bookmark folders and numerous bookmarks within each folder. I love the way the desktop version (Firefox for Windows) allows for easy sort and save for bookmarks. I absolutely hate the way Firefox for Android handles bookmarks. There is no way to sort and no way to choose a default save folder.

Awhile back a change was made to Firefox for Android. Before the change, saving all new bookmarks automatically saved them in the root Bookmarks folder where they were easy to grab and reassign to a particular folder. After the change, bookmarks now get saved in the last folder used.

This causes problems with later finding bookmarks when they were saved in a folder that wasn't expected and is especially troublesome when you have numerous bookmark folders. For example, I had been saving bookmarks in the root Bookmarks folder. Every once in awhile I go through that folder and move bookmarks I want to keep into other folders. Whichever folder I last moved a bookmark to now becomes the default save folder. The next time I save a bookmark it goes to that last used folder. If I don't remember which folder it was, now I have to search. Or I have to remember and be fast enough to hit "Edit" on the small pop up window that shows up after saving a bookmark.

But it gets worse. I recently went through my bookmarks and moved several from the root bookmarks folder into other folders. I later saved a bookmark and had to go find it in one of the sub folders. After finding it, I moved it back to the root Bookmarks folder. Let's call it "Bookmark A". Fast forward several weeks where all subsequent bookmarks were saved in the root Bookmarks folder as I desired. I then went through all my bookmarks and deleted those I no longer needed. This time I didn't move any of them. BUT, the last bookmark I deleted was "Bookmark A". The next time I saved a bookmark, it did not get saved in the root Bookmarks folder as I expected. I had to go find it again in the same sub folder where "Bookmark A" was originally saved. Apparently, when I deleted "Bookmark A", Firefox for Android somehow remembered the next most recently used folder. I hate this so much!

Can we get a setting to define a certain folder as the default folder for future saved bookmarks?

I don't understand the reason for the change in the first place. But, if there are plenty of users who want bookmarks automatically saved in the last used folder, then give everyone a setting to either choose that method or a default saved bookmark location.

I'd also like to see a drag and drop method to sort bookmarks as well as settings to sort by name, date, etc.

I'm running the latest version of Firefox for Android on a Samsung S25.

My keyboard pops up randomly and semi-transparently while also being unusable. It's also preventing from interacting with the webpage behind it. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I'm using Firefox 145.0.2. Every time I try to get directions from google maps, it asks me if I want to open it in the app. When I say no, it tries anyway and fails.

I don't have the maps app installed. I've set Firefox as my default browser, set open links in apps to never, and cleared the default behavior for the Google maps app. (I don't know why an app I don't have has a default behavior.)

Is there anything else I should try?

Good day,

I noticed that the "recently closed tabs" hustory remains available even after quitting firefox, when quitting should erase history.

This is counterintuitive. I would like quitting to clear also the recently closed tabs.

Would you like to consider this for the next version update?

Thank you for your work. I appreciate what you do a lot!

Best regards

Turning off the "Automatically delete browsing history" feature often doesn't allow you to delete "Recently visited tabs." It seems that tab history generated from manually closed bookmarks can't be deleted through this feature either。Hope it can be fixed

You eliminated saving a page to disc or SD card as an HTML file. that was a big mistake. That severely reduces the usefulness of Firefox. I wish you would bring it back since you've already written the code for it.

Youtube's mobile site isn't loading since the new Firefox update. It gets to the attached screen then doesn't go any farther and I can't click on anything. I tried disabling my extensions and this didn't fix the problem. The desktop site loads but is not very mobile friendly.

Hi, looking to ask if anyone has experience with restoring Firefox open tabs after closing them accidentally on Android.

Environment: Android 14 Firefox account sync enabled

Things tried: 1. Firefox Sync (The open tab information was promptly cleared away by the sync) 2. Open tab information from a separate desktop Firefox browser with Sync enabled prior (same issue as #1) 3. ADB file access (no permissions) 4. ADB downgrade install to pull old files (failed due to Android 14) 5. Accessing "files:///data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/..." (cannot download files and looking at the timestamps, the SQLite files have probably been overwritten) 6. Firefox debugging (Nothing useful) 7. Searching for a way to get Firefox Sync historical data (doesn't seem available) 8. Mailing customer support (No response)

Things I didn't do prior to this incident (answering the common responses found online): 1. Bookmark my tabs 2. Firefox Collections

Hello !

Before v147 on Android I was able to play a video on YouTube and then shut my screen and the audio would still play and it was amazing but I can't seem to do it anymore since a week or so :/ is it just me ? Thank you

I follow the instructions on how to Sync and save data on my mobile, but there is no option in the options as described. I am logged in on both the phone and desktop.
