If I have sync enabled I cannot create a new folder and rename it while bookmarking a page. I can only type in one or two characters before it times out and those characters become the folder name.

This is exactly the problem set out in this question from 2012!!

However, this seems to have only started today which is well after I enabled sync to get my existing bookmarks. I have no extensions loaded that have anythinbg to do with bookmarks and besides all my extensions are still active when I've disable sync

Yes I am using Waterfox but I want the problem seems to be comman to both code bases unless Waterfox has somehow enabled this bug from long ago.

A very recent thread concerning changes made for Firefox 47 that has a few users all atwitter - it relates to the "time out" part of your question is here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1127104

I wouldn't think that your problem is associated with using Sync, but rather connected with that change in Firefox for Firefox 47. Beyond mentioning Add Bookmark Here 2 as a way to get rid of that 3 second "time out" - I don't know of a way of increasing that 3 seconds or to turn if off. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/ I checked that extension out just a few hours ago, and the Add & Edit will stay open as long as you want in Firefox 47.

I gave up on this silly UI for saving new bookmarks like 8 years ago, not long after this silly Places system came about. I continue to use the Bookmarks Sidebar [as I did in 2002 when Firefox was named Phoenx, when I stopped using IE6], when I want to create wanted new folders I do that in the Sidebar before I save the bookmark, and I do a drag'n'drop of the tab in to the folder that I want to place the new bookmark into. Simple, hasn't been changed much in 14 years - but it's not a documented feature in Firefox, not very discoverable, or well known either. And part of me is afraid to mention it too often for fear of some "smart programmer" deciding that "he" can make that feature better and then bollocks it like "they" they seem to do with everything else, instead of fixing stuff that been broken for 14 years like "printing". IMO, too many children wanting to display their programming "chops" by messing up or over-complicating things that worked fine as they were
