Even though my bookmarks are sorted alphabetically, when I view them in the bookmarks sidebar filtered by a tag, they're not in alphabetical order anymore.

I want the bookmarks sidebar to display bookmarks alphabetically, AFTER I've filtered them by a tag. I've sorted my bookmarks, and when I don't filter them by a tag, they appear alphabetically in the sidebar. However, if I filter them by a tag I've assigned to some bookmarks (by typing the tag into the text box at the top of the bookmarks sidebar) the tagged bookmarks appear in what appears to be an arbitrary order. Since displaying them in alphabetical order would be the easiest thing to do -- since the bookmarks are already alphabetized! -- why is there extra work done to scramble the bookmarks when filtered by a tag? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, no idea. If you have the Firefox Menu Bar running which is where the Bookmarks where at top of browser there seems to be more options and control there. Mouse to top of browser to a empty spot and right Click to turn on.

Under Bookmarks --> Show All Bookmarks --Organize in sever ways.

As this is a unsupported browser and should be on the Extended Release Version I do not know what Extensions that would work for you as there is many that will/would.
