Sorting bookmarks in Firefox.

Asked by michael

I have this problem on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. I cannot move sorted bookmarks from the library, to bookmarks menu. Have spent an hour today trying to get help from Mozilla Firefox support. Asked the question many times, it always gave answers, that sent me back to where I had been. This is only answer I got. Answer in [ ] square brackets
 How to finish bookmarks sorting? I go through all steps, and get this. [The sort order in the Library window is for viewing purposes only, and will not be reflected in the Bookmarks sidebar, menu or button.] I am looking for, how to get, sorted library bookmarks, to bookmarks menu.

Thanks

SOLVED
Apparently, sorting bookmarks menu, in Mozilla Firefox, is not possible. After another 1/2 hour searching for a solution, I hit on the right answer. You must go to extensions, and add one. The one that worked for me is BooksHome. Instead of clicking on lll\ icon and then bookmarks, I now click on the BooksHome icon. It seams to work like Firefox worked in the past. I have not done 16.04 yet, only 18.04. Actually, it is only one click, rather than two.

Correction
The correct extension name is BookmarksHome, not BooksHome.
