1435545 - Make "Bookmarks Toolbar" the default bookmarks folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1412263

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Jason]

Attachment: Picture of New Bookmark Menu

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to a web page.
2. Click the "star" button to bookmark the page.


Actual results:

A menu appears asking where you want to save the bookmark.  The default is "Other Bookmarks."


Expected results:

The default folder should be changed to "Bookmarks Toolbar."

I've worked in IT at two colleges/universities.

At both jobs, a question we repeatedly got about Firefox is where bookmarks go after clicking the "star" button to make a bookmark.

I would like to see bookmarks, at least for new Firefox installations, go into the Bookmarks Toolbar by default.

The user can still choose "Other Bookmarks," but I think the Bookmarks Toolbar makes more sense for new Firefox users.
