HI iaaron6,

Please make sure that the android device is updated to the new sync. In accounts you can see if the account says {Firefox Sync(deprecated)}.

Thank you for your question. At the moment you can rename and tag bookmarks on Firefox for Android, but you can’t create or manage bookmark folders directly on your device. organize bookmarks on Firefox for Android. However if you set up Firefox Sync, you can organize the bookmarks for a Desktop Computer. However, you can organize them on your desktop computer and use Firefox Sync to share your organized bookmarks with your Android device."

On the Desktop:

  1. How do I set up Firefox Sync? and How to update to the new Firefox Sync
  2. Bookmarks > Show all bookmarks
  3. Move bookmarks and create folders from here.
  4. Make changes, then wait for sync to complete the changes.
  5. Your organized bookmarks will show up on Firefox for Android.
  1. On your Android device, you can edit your bookmark names, tags and URLs by doing the following:
  2. On the start screen, tap on the “Bookmarks” panel.
  3. Tap and hold on the bookmark you want to change until the menu appears. Select “Edit”.
  4. Edit the bookmark tag, name, or url.
  5. In order to change the folder, you will need to set up sync and move the contents of the folders from a bookmark manager on desktop computer.
