Hi. I have several folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar. After selecting a bookmark from a folder, the next time I go into Bookmarks, I am taken back to the main Bookmarks page and I have to go to Bookmarks Toolbar and select the folder all over again. This was broken 2 releases ago. Please fix !!!

Hello,

To make sure I understand. You are expecting the flow to be as follows:

  • Open hamburger menu and select bookmarks
  • Select specific bookmark folder
  • Select bookmark (which then opens that page in browser)

Then

  • Select hamburger menu and select bookmarks
  • Automatically opens last bookmark folder viewed

Hi.

This only happens with the iOS version of Firefox.

Within the "Bookmarks Toolbar", I have several folders.

In the past, whenever I press the "Star" icon to access Bookmarks and select a bookmark, the next time I press the "Star" it takes to me to the last bookmarks folder I was in.

Now, it returns me back to the "root" Bookmark page: - Bookmark Menu - Bookmarks Toolbar - Unsorted Bookmarks - Mobile Bookmarks

I have to go to Bookmarks Toolbar > my desired folder again ...

Hi there.

After some digging, I found an open bug for this issue you are experiencing submitted already to the Product team. The product team noted that they have been getting some complaints about this recently and are looking into it further.

Hopefully a fix will be coming in an upcoming release.
