Starting yesterday by bookmark toolbar randomly started rearranging my bookmarks by name. I am not accidentally using the r-command which apparently is set to sort by name. I had even rearranged my bookmarks the way I've always had them before putting on playlist on youtube and going to bed and when I woke up they had rearranged themselves. Exiting Firefox and reopening doesn't trigger it, changing windows to some other application doesn't trigger it. So I have no idea what is triggering the change.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?

In the bookmarks window View menu > Sort, make sure that "Unsorted" is checked.

I just looked into this and it was already set to unsorted.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
