Using bookmarks on mobile is pretty annoying. Your options are: 1) using uncustomizable shortcuts; 2) using the (...) menu to open bookmarks and 3) pin "latest bookmarks" to homepage and click "show all". Option 1 is pretty much out of the question if you use a lot of bookmarks and/or need folders; Options 2 and 3 have you clicking a lot to get to the bookmarks toolbar, which is extremely annoying.

Also, adding something to bookmarks on mobile, doesn't bring up the menu to choose where it ends up, and doesn't have a way to set up a default location, which forces me to then go into the bookmarks menu and manually move them. Having a default location option and the desktop-style bookmarking menu would be much appreciated.

I suggest an option for the current bookmarks widget or a new widget altogether for the homepage, that would just allow you to pin a bookmark folder (Bookmarks\Desktop\Bookmarks Toolbar in my case). Widgets usually have limited space, so I suggest having an arrow/show all button that will expand to show the whole folder (and you should have the option to have it expanded by default). Also, preferably in a list format rather than tiles with thumbnails.

Alternatively add a bookmarks menu to the tab button menu, but this way the whole homepage is just wasted space for me, so I would prefer the former option.

Mobile Chrome can do this easily, but Firefox can't even do this simple thing. In the end, market share does not lie.

+1. I thought I was missing something considering when I dragged a folder (created in Opera which has a very useful Speed Dial in the home page with FOLDERS) and Firefox only opened all the tabs in the folder instead of pinning it.

"Bluntinly" speaking, using a phone is a pain in the sarse so, the less I have to press or touch to get what I need is the better; and bookmarks are a must as we use them everyday, many times a day.

Most of my work is on a desktop and I add my bookmarks to, you guessed it, the bookmarks bar; so I want to have it on my phone browser desktop so I don't have to navigate extra three touches to get to them. It's already a pain to go through folders, so make it simpler.

And thanks for searching in the bookmarks first when I start "touching" the phone.
