One way to integrate a "don't remember the last used folder" preference into the UI would be to have a checkbox labelled something like "Use this folder next time"; checked by default; located in the bookmark editor (the one that pops up from the bookmark creation star icon).
I think this would have to be accompanied by a change of behaviour, so that the folder is considered to be "used" if it gets selected in the editor UI, rather than waiting for a bookmark to be saved into it. Otherwise it could get rather confusing. Then, if the checkbox is unchecked, the next time the editor shows, it defaults to a specific location (e.g. Other Bookmarks) and the box remains unchecked until manually checked again. This was not an immediately obvious idea to me, so I thought I'd put on the table in case this preference gets implemented. There may very well be better ways, of course. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586822 Title: Ability to set default save destination for new bookmarks Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Though I can understand the rationale for making all new bookmarks go into an "Unsorted Bookmarks" area, I think that it would be good if Firefox provided an option to allow the user to change the default save location for new bookmarks, because I for one don't want to have to move every new bookmark I make to the "Bookmarks Toolbar", I would like to be able to have them just go there automatically, but I can't currently so it would be good if there were an option to change the default save location of bookmarks.
