When syncing between devices, the location of bookmarks in subfolders is not remembered

I use Firefox on 3 devices: - a PC at home (Win 10, FF standard instalation), - an Android phone (Xiaomi Mi 9T) - a PC at work (Win7) with the Firefox portable version.

I have the latest, stable, up-to-date versions of Firefox on all my devices.

The problem is when I save a bookmark on one of the computers at work or at home, and then the devices synchronize. Bookmarks between computers do not remember their position in the bookmark folders and are saved in the main folder.

I have already performed all the steps based on the instructions in this article, but the problem persists. ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1270667])

Firefox 89 How to eliminate thumbnail at top of 'bookmark this page' dropdown?

On the subject of changes to the Bookmark function - how can I eliminate the "thumbnail" which is now appearing in Firefox 89 at the top when you click on the 'bookmark current tab' option. I don't need a thumbnail to know what I'm bookmarking - or what the bookmark is - and it takes up a lot of space, which in turn means that I have to scroll down in order to click the 'save' button.

imho it would be a lot more useful to show the past 10 or 12 bookmark folders that were used (as opposed to the 6 we're now seeing) than to see the thumbnail ...

Would appreciate an answer to this ....

I have used Mozilla for years. And years. And I completely agree with the sentiment "Mozilla please stay focused on privacy, speed and functionality". The ui doesn't need to be trendy ....

I just re-downloaded Firefox to my laptop. Every other time I've done that, it repopulates with all my bookmarks and history. I know they're still there because I can turn around and see them on my desktop. How do I move them to my laptop?

Could it be the latest upgrade?

Hi, Not sure if I found a bug. The Bookmarks bar i set to show on new tabs, but doesn't show when I open a new tab (ctrl-T). However, if I open a new window (ctrl-N) it will show... Very strange.

What's even more strange is that it works fine on my workstation (Windows 10 v. 20H2) but not on my laptop (Windows 10 v. 1909)

Firefox versions on both systems is 89.0 x64 and they are both fresh installs.

Not sure if the import from Chrome messed something up. I did have some bookmarks imported from the bookmark bar in Chrome on my laptop but had none to import on my workstation.

Greetings from Earth. My Firefox bookmarks in my Dell PC are suddenly altered in that many of the contents of folders (that had been alphabetized by me as I added to them over the years) are now mixed and random-- no longer in A-Z order. I woke up the other day to find this surprise. Is there a simple way to rectify this problem that doesn't involve me rearranging them one by one to their former order, or will I just have to live with the bookmarks in this new way? I did nothing unusual on the PC or with bookmarks to cause any changes. Thanks in advance for help and/or advice; it's appreciated. A fussy Gen X guy is obliged.
