Default Bookmark Folder

When I right click a tab and select Bookmark Tab, the "Location" is preselected from one of my existing bookmark folders/locations. I thought it might adapt to the most recent or most often selected folder; however, it seems to present the same "default" location every time I bookmark a tab - a folder I have not barely used in months. I realize I can select another folder, but it is annoying for it to select the LEAST used and my personal least favorite folder EVERY TIME, for MONTHS.

1) Is there a way to select which folder it preloads to save bookmarks to? 2) Why is it selecting THAT folder? 3) If there is no way to set a folder, is there a way to reset it or something? ANY other folder to default to would be less annoying. I do not understand why it seems "stuck" on this folder and will not preload ANY other folder from the dozens of folders.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Firefox would normally store the GUID of the default folder in this pref in about:config.

  • about:config => browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation [toolbar|menu|unfiled|guid]

You can paste JavaScript code in the command-line in the Browser Console to get the current default folder.

await PlacesUIUtils.defaultParentGuid
