The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

The defaultLocation preference is used to save the last used location for where you stored a bookmark via the star UI (and possibly other places). A random string would be referencing the actual ID of the folder where that bookmark was saved.
If you want a consistent location for the default bookmark folder, that would be covered by bug 1412263 and maybe bug 1691729.
Resolving as invalid as the preference is behaving as expected.
