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

I use Firefox Sync to see my desktop bookmarks on mobile (android) - the latest android update force-sorts all bookmarks alphabetically or time-wise, with no option to leave them in desktop order.

It is now very hard to find what I want in my painstakingly arranged bazillion bookmarks and folders and subfolders and so on...

Please restore the ability on mobile to leave the sort as it is on desktop. At least for the "desktop bookmarks" folder.

Thanks!

Dear Mozilla Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I have about 800 bookmarks spread across four different groups in Firefox for Android. While I am really happy that the latest Android version (138) now allows sorting bookmarks by "New to Old," I would love to see the ability to manually adjust the bookmark order through a long press and drag feature.

Being able to arrange bookmarks manually would significantly improve my experience managing such a large number of bookmarks. I truly appreciate the improvements you've made so far and hope that you will consider adding this feature in a future update.

Thank you so much for your hard work on Firefox, and I look forward to seeing continued enhancements!

Best regards,

Is it possible to create a bookmark folder in Firefox for Android that is synced (safety reasons) but it's the default folder for bookmarks on Android? Let me give you an example: I want to have in my bookmarks on my smartphone in a very accessible way, bookmarks for some package tracking websites, like UPS, SkyPostal, etc., but they don't need to be so easily accessible on my desktop. So I still want to sync, something like "Mobile Bookmarks", and view on my desktop when I need, but this is the default bookmark folder just for the mobile. Also I need to be able to duplicate bookmark entries, because the same bookmark, let's say SkyPostal, would be in two different places, an easy item on mobile but a harder to find item on desktop.

I love Firefox for Android, but I wish there was an option button for automatically saving shortcuts, which when turned on or off, would not automatically save the shortcuts on the home screen. Please provide such an option.

Maybe my phone gas issues but I have been using Mozilla for so long, I have acquired many bookmarks. I can't save anymore because mu list is so long & tiresome. It nees a drop-down tab to better organize. Might I also suggest a way to alert owners that there is a page they haven't seen in a long time. Also an organizer that is automated.

Exhausted looking at my list.

There are only available sort "A-Z", 'Z-A', -"newest" and "oldest"

This is very inconvenient, because all of those are inconsistent with desktop Firefox, where manually sorted.

Please add possibility to apply sorting, same as on desktop.

I have folders on my computer in tabs e.g. a1, a2, a3 .... a7. And on the android it displays in the first place the last used folder e.g. a4. Similarly e.g. in folder a3 I have bookmarks and folders e.g. b1, b2, dir1, b3, b4, dir2, b5 .... And on android it shows me in a3 e.g. dir2 (because I opened something from it) b10 (because I added on my phone recently), then e.g. b6 because I opened it. Why can't it be like on a computer?

I have thousands of bookmarks. What the hell is wrong with allowing sorting by

(1) date create, (2) date changed (3) AND by name?

I always sort by name. File folders, bookmarks.

By creation date on pixtures.

This is a no brainer. Your bookmarks are not usable. Especially if i dont recall the name. The synced folder names get me to the right subject, scanning the folder contents reviels the targetted link.

Common children, do it right or dont do it.
