User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
Steps to reproduce:
Hit Ctrl-D to bookmark, causing dialog to appear beneath star.
Actual results:
Folder literally changes on its own from "Other Bookmarks" to an existing folder without any input. If I navigate to that field and try to change it back, it will, usually within less than a second, change back to an existing folder.
Expected results:
Folder should remain on "Other Bookmarks."
Additional notations:
(1) I have tried Safe Mode as well as simply removing all extensions. I have tried saving bookmarks to HTML, deleting bookmark files, deleting my Firefox Sync account (I have a phone install, a work install, and a home install), and restoring from the HTML backup. Unless I've somehow made a mistake in that process, it didn't work.
(2) At one point, I used the Firefox recommended extension "Default Bookmark Folder". When these problems began, I uninstalled it in case it was the source of the problem. It has no effect in repairing this issue.
(3) The problem does not occur if the bookmark tree is expanded.
(4) The problem seems not to occur if the bookmark is NOT made via the dialog that pops up from the star within the address bar.

I can't reproduce this, so I'm concluding that it's related to Sync.

Reading that description, I think my problem is the same as that other bug you 'see also'd -- although that bug didn't come up in the initial search that the 'New Bug' process runs.
I see at the bottom how to 'Resolve as Duplicate', so I'll do so with this, and keep an eye on the other bug.
