How do I create folders to organize my bookmarks?

How do I create folders to organize my bookmarks?

Gekose oplossing

Sync is not really a solution to the lack of bookmark organization functionality on the Mobile client. It's nice to have for users who really want to sync their PC bookmarks to Mobile, but being FORCED to do that is impractical, inconvenient, and a glaring deficiency in the Mobile product.

If you add a bookmark locally, you can't put it into a folder or sort it at all until you're in front of a desktop PC. But even if you are sitting in front of a PC right when you add a local bookmark, there's no way AFAIK to force the sync to occur right then. (I've tried enabling and disabling bookmark sync, logging in/out, closing the clients, etc.) You simply have to wait some indeterminate amount of time for it to appear in the desktop browser (sometimes 15 min., sometimes 30 min., sometimes several hours or even an entire day). Then you can find it in the desktop browser's Mobile Bookmarks folder and move it, sort it, etc. But then you have to wait *another* period of time for the change to propagate back down to the Mobile device. That's HORRIBLE design.

There is not any UI for organizing bookmarks on Firefox for Android.

If you want to do this we suggest Firefox Sync to allow you to organize bookmarks on desktop Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync?
