As in bookmarking into a specific folder, or moving a bookmark from one folder to another. Chrome has had this feature for long over a year now, but I don't want to use Chrome; I like Firefox.

Thanks in advance. I'm just wondering. Maybe there's something the matter that I'm not aware of, but it just seems like that's a basic bookmarking function that I would think Mozilla would have implemented by now for mobile.

i don't know exactly but i suspect it's a prioritization thing (aka. there were more important things to do), though it is certainly a feature that is often requested.

the one way to achieve it currently would be to use firefox sync together with a desktop device, where your bookmarks from android will go into a dedicated "mobile bookmarks" folder, which you can organise like you're used to (with folders and reordering items...).

How do I set up Sync on my computer?

hello Seib, this is certainly on the wish-list of things to implement in the browser - but development on it hasn't started yet, so it isn't possible to give a time-frame for such a feature unfortunately.

for progress on the subject you can also follow along bug #972193 (but please don't post in bug reports)....

That makes sense, although few things qualify in a stable release as more important than a basic bookmarking feature, though I wouldn't doubt there having been some serious flaws for the community to fix. The job of maintaining a system is never finished; problems always crop up, even big ones.

Also, thanks for the suggestion. I don't really how that will really solve anything, though. :/ All my folders are already in another "folder", so-to-speak (the Bookmarks Bar folder), so moving them all to the Mobile Bookmarks folder instead will just move the problem but keep it the same. The issue here isn't the location; it's the fact that whenever bookmarks are created from the android app, it stays there until you manually move it on desktop, and the fact that any bookmark—created or preexisting—can't be edited (except its name) nor moved nor copied.
