User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0

Steps to reproduce:

I want to add a bookmark to a certain folder

Actual results:

The bookmark was not created in the folder that I wanted to select. Instead the bookmark was created in the folder of the last bookmark created. I was quick enough to select the "Edit" button which then opened a page where I could change the folder to the one I wanted. Selecting the folder is not enough to make Firefox store the change. I had to move my thumb all the way to the left top to hit the "go back" arrow which leads to the "Edit bookmark" page where I had to move my thumb again all the way to the left top to hit the "go back" arrow once again.
To sum it up - I needed five taps (two difficult ones) to store a bookmark in a specific folder which could have been achieved with two taps as well.

Expected results:

There should be a setting "Always store bookmark in last place" or something like that. If that is not enabled then when adding a bookmark Firefox will automatically show a menu where I can select the desired folder. Selecting a folder will be enough , the menu will close - maybe with a temporary message displayed giving feedback that the bookmark was indeed stored at the desired location - and the bookmarked page will again be displayed.
