Bookmarks toolbar reording itself - totally annoying and unwanted

more options

1. I am assuming a new update has been installed, as I have not noticed this behavior previously. Current version is 57.0 2. I didn't notice this behavior until I tried to re-arrange my bookmarks toolbar, but if I attempt to do so, it automatically reverts back to the previous setting which appears alphabetical. 3. I find this most annoying. I am a developer, and use Firefox many times a day to aid in software development.

Finally: There may be a work around for this, but I don't know what that is, and if it is indeed available, I'd like to know about it. If it is a new 'feature', and can't be overloaded, please reconsider!

It's definitely not a built-in feature to automatically alphabetize your bookmarks. In fact, it's a bit of an arduous process because you need to go to each folder or container, right-click, and choose Sort by Name.

Is it possible that any of your add-ons might include this feature?

Do you use Firefox Sync or XSync or a similar service for your bookmarks?
