Make it stop moving my bookmarks

In the recent past, Firefox has started automatically alphabetizing my bookmarks. I don't want it to. I put them in the order that I like them. It's very frustrating. I was using the bookmarks editor and as I was arranging the bookmarks, within seconds they would automatically go back to alphabetical order. How do I make that stop?

If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.


[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

When done, copy and post the results here.
