I surely would like to be able to 'sort by name' feature in my bookmarks like I do on the desktop version.

In the desktop version of the firefox 'release' channel browser, you can simply choose a group of saved bookmarks, and then choose the 'sort by name' option to sort your bookmarks. I've installed the latest firefox mobile version on my lenovo ideatab A2109A tablet, and that feature doesn't exist. At this point in time there isn't even any addon available to use either. I surely enjoy using firefox on my windows computer's, and I DO realize that android is different from windows, but I would hope that someday in the near future..this 'important' feature can be added. In both the 'stock' android browser, boat browser, and also google chrome browser, this feature has already been implemented. Thanks, David

Sorry not really the sort of subject discussed here. We try to help with problems rather than discussing development issues and feature requests.

I am sure it is a feature that will be provided at some stage.

Maybe there is some other suitable forum see listing:

not sure which if any would consider that an on topic question

Sorry about that, I guess I thought I was posting a'rational' type of question in here. It looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer to try firefox mobile on my tablet. It's still not ready for'prime'time yet.

Hi again David,
I forgot to mention there is an option to provide feedback comments at http://input.mozilla.org/feedback

It is a rational question.

I do not know the answer but comparing the size and complexity of desktop versions of Firefox with Mobile I surmise it is one or all of:

  1. hardware limitations: cpu & probably most importantly RAM.
    On a mobile RAM is used for the static files that would reside on a hdd plus any cache, in addition to what normally has to be in RAM.
  2. development time & resources, this is a fairly new product
  3. need for compatibility on lower spec devices

You may also note there is a Firefox OS in development/rollout https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/partners/

We try not to have off topic conversations on the forum because as an open and Search Engine indexed forum any discussion attracts further posts.
