Steps to reproduce:
I did nothing, as far as I'm concerned, except for editing my bookmarks and bookmark folder structure in ways that shouldn't cause this.
Actual results:
At three separate occasions within just the last two weeks, I have noticed that a bookmark folder have gone missing from its original location, only to find it at a completely different location in the bookmark tree to which I hadn't moved it (in another folder, at another depth, but they at least still exist, just at another location). And these are just the folders that I have noticed have gone missing (there may be more that I don't know of, considering that my bookmark folder structure is quite large).
Last time I had to export my bookmarks to HTML and use the less command in Git Bash on the file in order to be able to search for a bookmark folder I knew existed as a subfolder in the folder that was missing (the usual "Search bookmarks" function in Firefox don't seem to be able to find folders, just bookmarks, as the name suggests), and trace its location that way.
Expected results:
The bookmark folders should have remained at their respective locations since I didn't move them myself.

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

Hello, I'm sorry that this is happening, we have another report from a user with many (tens of thousands) bookmarks, do you also have many bookmarks?
Could you please attach a txt log from the about:support page to this bug report?
