When there are more than 20 bookmarks in a folder, sort settings are not saved

I have several bookmark folders that contain more than 20 bookmarks each. If I apply a sort to any of these folders, the bookmark sort is lost after I close the browser. If I reduce the number of bookmarks to less than 20, or create a subfolder and move bookmarks to it, the sort remains between sessions.

The add-on appears to have worked. I'm still puzzled by Firefox's behavior, and why it needs to be corrected by an add-on.

There are other things that need your attention.

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

See:

Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions

  • Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

See:


You may also want to reset some excessive connection settings (about:config) that show in your More system details list. Website Administrators usually do not like such tweaks.
