Saving bookmarks in a user-defined default folder

[wodejose28]

Hello,

I think it would be useful if there was an option to always save bookmarks in a user-defined default folder rather than saving them in the folder last used. I don't always remember what folder I've used last so the bookmarks end up somewhere I cannot find them.

Kind regards

This is needed for Android, at least.

I keep getting bookmarks "lost" in random folders, because I keep assuming any bookmarks I save on Android go to wherever I last saved on Android, and not "last saved on Desktop"... !!!

When I was in Chrome, that's how it used to work, so I never had to double check every time.

I bookmark stuff on Android when I want to check later when I am on the PC. But if bookmarks go to "random" places every time, I keep forgetting about them.
