In the most recent update notes, it's said that Firefox "now remembers your preferred location" for bookmarks. However, the location chosen now as my preferred is just some random folder. Is there a way to set the preferred location? Or at least set the browser to do what it did before, which is save to the last-used folder? Thanks!

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi, Firefox 85 should remember and use as the default the last folder you saved in; previously, it always defaulted to Other Bookmarks.

I think this is a new feature in Firefox 85, so if you had the "same as last" behavior before, you might have been using an add-on for that. Some bookmark add-ons are having compatibility issues with this change in Firefox, so you might want to disable the extension as a test.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't have any extension that works with my bookmarks, so I'm not sure why I remember Firefox defaulting to the last used folder previously. I found that the problem was only on one of my signed-in browsers, and when I restarted that one it worked as described. Thanks again!
