Why can I not keep my Bookmark Folders in alphabetical order? Yes, I know I can see them alphabetically as an option in "Manage Bookmarks" but I am tired of scrolling up and down trying to find the proper folder to put my Bookmark into when I am saving a new Bookmark. This design or lack there of makes Firefox feel old and clunky.

Are you referring to folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar? Open the Library with ctl+shft+o, select Bookmarks Toolbar in the left panel, right-click then Sort by Name. That should persist.
