Thank you for the report!
Your bookmarks order might be changed due to the new implemented feature on Android which displays the bookmarks (or folders) based on the creation/update time (last created/updated are displayed on top).

You could disable this feature following the steps below:

  1. Go to Settings -> About Firefox.
  2. Tap 5 times on Firefox logo to enable the debug mode.
  3. Go back to the Settings menu.
  4. Select Secret Settings.
  5. Disable "Enable Compose Bookmarks" option.
  6. Restart the app and check the Bookmarks list.

We're adding the ability to change the sort order with Bug 1953992.

Thanks, the Manual helped.

But:

  • Why is it so complicated ?
  • Why do you change a proven behaviour and hide the "disable"-button so deep in the menu?
  • Why ?
