Description

Attachment: Firefox Bookmarks Misplacement Issue 4-11-2025.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0

Steps to reproduce:

Use Firefox 137.0.1 as intended.

Actual results:

Found another Bookmark folder that was significantly misplaced today. I have reported this problem before. The last two unreported occurrences showing what happened are below:

12-30-24 A Bookmarks folder titled Government which was located originally in:
Bookmarks Menu | From Internet Explorer in alphabetical order after Google.
Was found located at:
Bookmarks Menu | From Internet Explorer in the root of Electronics Projects.

4-11-25 A Bookmarks folder titled Tractors/Equipment which was located originally in:
Bookmarks Menu | From Internet Explorer in alphabetical order after Toys.
Was found located in:
Bookmarks Menu | From Internet Explorer | DNA Misc.

Expected results:

The Bookmark should remain where it was manually placed. It was suggested before that supposedly having a large Bookmark file was a cause or potential cause.

Since the issue still is not resolved, it needs to be reported since there is no evidence of resolution!
