I thought this was a mistake, but it is still broken. Actual results: The default bookmark location is overwritten to "Other bookmarks" a sub folder which is hard to access and forces me to change the folder I want to save to manually every single time, ruining the usability by adding a unecessary extra clicks. Expected results: Leave the default bookmark location as "Bookmark menu" as it always has been or implement an about:config preference or setting that allows me to change the default bookmark location to any folder I please.

If it's too hard for you to access now, you may want to try to use "Bookmarks Mane" button, instead of "Library" button. You could also use Bookmarks Sidebar.

And please do _not_ assume that it is "too hard" for me to do configure things. Are you seriously suggesting me I need to install more extensions because a feature that worked for 13 years was broken? I use FF since 2004 and usually people here can be reasoned with, I am asking for some common sense. The "Other Bookmarks" folder always has been a nuisance. This feels more like involuntarily coercing the user into using it. I can create my own "temp" folder, I don't need Mozilla to do it and I don't want to be forced to do so. I want to talk to a different Mozilla dev and this needs to be re-opened.

This change will allow more easily to change the default folder through a pref. Though, that bug doesn't exist, so maybe we could convert this one to cover that.

I never assumed this, that it's too hard for you to configure things.
