Firefox mobile version 138 on Samsung Galaxy A14 5G

For years I've had my bookmarks arranged in a specific order. The day after the most recent Firefox update I discovered that my bookmarks have somehow been rearranged in alphabetical order.

What caused this to happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?

Hi,

My bookmarks in Firefox Android are not sorted as they are with my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows. The problem started about 4 to 8 weeks ago.

What needs to happen to have Firefox Android sort my bookmarks the same way as my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows, please?

Thanks, Stephen

All of a sudden I am getting an "Invalid URL" error when trying to bookmark a website on Firefox mobile. I have tried pages with different extensions (.com, .org, .tv). I cleared the cache and restarted my phone. Did not work. I have the latest Firefox mobile 142.0.1 and a Samsung A25.

Fx 148.0 Galaxy A14 5G

Unable to view the subfolders in the bookmarks folder when I add or edit bookmarks:

three vertical dot icon > bookmark page > edit > bookmarks > tap on ">" next to "bookmarks" to view the subfolders

This problem started happening after the latest update.

I have a lot of bookmarks and lot means A LOT OF. When I add any bookmark to a specific folder, then the list becomes a mess. I can't find any folder easily where I want to add new bookmark. It's so inconvenient and time-consuming. So, I request you to please address this issue and improve the bookmark section. I'll be very thankful to you.

Thank you, Naveen.

The newest update 144.0.1 now has numbers next to bookmark folders. I don't need nor want this info. How do I disable this setting?

I foolishly upgraded to the latest Android mobile version. I like my bookmarks kept in the order I set them. Firefox, with the new version has decided they should be alphabetical once again. I have turned off this annoying behaviour in previous versions by disabling Compose Bookmarks in the secret settings. This option is no longer visible. How do I get my bookmarks back in the order want and stop firedox from screwing them up again?

What is this obsession the development team have with screwing up user bookmark organisation? This keeps coming back like a bad penny.

hi. I search for a bookmark by FF search function and want to edit its name. How? No, i do not want to tap and manually search through all bookmarks and then edit it. Yes, the findings should be easy editable. It is a suggestion for the developers. thx

in android Version 150.0, the bookmarking system is broken. bookmarks are always stuck on one fixed folder choice and doors not change to the latest folder you bookmarked a new page to. Also, when tabs are in list view there is no space at the bottom for tab related popups to show without it clashing with the of the tabs open in the list view

I've used Firefox a long time on different platforms, bookmarks get duplicated, irrelevant and numerous for the same websites.

When I try to rationalize them the workflow does not allow me to easily bin the superfluous ones without opening the site and then only removes the title not the web address.

The computer work flow is much better but as mobiles are now more frequently used as main devices, would it not be sensible to change this behaviour for a better workflow?

Please upgrade bookmark management. It takes too many clicks to get to the list. Favorites are too few spots. Can't drag drop to order or swipe to delete. It's been a decade or more folks.

The newest update now has numbers next to my bookmark folders telling me how many bookmarks I have. I don't need nor want this info. How do I disable this setting?

I hate more clutter with updates.
