Hi @jnhs 👋

That sounds like a known issue some Android users have run into after recent Firefox updates.

Try this first:

Go to Settings → Firefox → Clear cache (not data).

Restart the browser and check if bookmarks can be saved again.

If not, go to Settings → About Firefox, and make sure you’re on the latest version — older builds had a bug affecting folder navigation in the bookmark dialog.

If it still doesn’t work, you can file feedback via Menu → Help → Report issue, so the devs can track it.

Hello thomaskarker460, Thanks for your quick response.

On my Android Firefox app I don't seem to have the path you suggested --

Settings → Firefox → Clear cache (not data)

I don't see "Firefox" as an option.

The closest I found is --

Settings → About Firefox → (nothing about a cache)

or

Settings → Delete Browsing Data → Cached images and files (which I've done and which doesn't resolve the problem)

My Firefox version is 144.0.2 (Build #2016122767), installed 2025/10/27. I assume it is the most current version, and my problem pre-dates this.

If I can't resolve this issue I'll report it per your suggestion.

Thanks 👍

In Firefox on Android, when I tap Add at

menu > [Bookmarks] Add

Firefox automatically saves the new bookmark in the last folder. So then to change that, I need to:

• Quickly glance down the screen to find the floating bar with the EDIT button and tap EDIT
  (or use menu > [Bookmarks] Edit)
• Tap the current folder name
• Tap the new folder name
• Tap the left arrow to return to the bookmark details
• Tap the left arrow to return to the page

Did it work differently before?

Jscher, I think the steps you suggested are what I used to be able to do. When I try to use those steps now my only options seem to be either to place the bookmark in the last-used folder, or create a new folder within the last-used folder. Whereupon the "new folder" becomes the only available folder. Grrrrr...

I appreciate your trying to help me out.

Jscher, I just tried saving a bookmark on my wife's phone (Android / Firefox) and it works perfectly, as I've always done it. So the problem has something to do with my phone.

I see that my wife's Firefox version is 140.0.4 while mine is 144.0.2. I wonder if my later version has a bug in it?

For the last few weeks I have been unable to save new bookmarks into the folder of my choice. Instead I can only save new bookmarks into the last folder I created. I cannot navigate to a different pre-existing folder. This is on my PC. I hate this; it's so frustrating to have to go BACK and edit to get it into the folder I created. It didn't used to do this, how can this be fixed? Thank you.
