Here is old post about this - it does not help at all because the feature is hard coded to source code. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1080380

When I bookmark a page, I select the folder from Other Bookmarks. It offers 5 most used folders. Too few. I need 10 so that all my most used folders are visible, so that I don't have to browse-select folders as frequently as now, too slow, too painful because folders are not sorted alphabetically.

Here, source code. Change "= 5" to "= 10", please. Later, make this user-settable option.

File: firefox-43.0b7\browser\components\places\content\editBookmarkOverlay.js

Line 10: const MAX_FOLDER_ITEM_IN_MENU_LIST = 5;

Would you please change the line above so that Firefox offers more recently-used-folders when bookmarking? The change only helps; it does not make harm to anyone,

Five recently used bookmark folders is not enough. Picking up the folder from full list is tedious, specially when the folders are unsorted alphabetically.

On the page you want to bookmark, do a right-click in an empty area of the page. At the top of the menu, press the Star. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) D.

Or, Press the bookmarks Star on the toolbar.

This will place a bookmark in the Unsorted or Other Bookmarks Folder. To edit or move that bookmark, press the Star again.

A window will come up with the name of the page and its web address. You can edit these entries.

Next, select what bookmarks folder you want this bookmark in. If you do not see that folder, go to the far right of the Folder line, and press the down arrow. You can also create a new folder.

FredMcD, please delete your "answer". We perfectly know how to make a bookmark. However, the number of recently-used-folders still stays in 5 which is not enough for practical use. Re-read the request and you will notice I asked to change 5 to 10 (for example).

I made the change most easy by digging out the relevant source code. I cannot edit the source code, compile and test.
