default bookmark folder "bookmarks toolbar" or "bookmarks menu" folders, and importing bookmarks from an html file #534

Hi, default bookmark folder is great, but when default bookmark folder is enabled and you set it to automatically add new bookmarks to firefox's "other bookmarks" folder, it saves new bookmarks there properly, but then if you try and move or copy them to the "bookmarks toolbar" or "bookmarks menu" folders, they seem to get saved there briefly, but then just automatically disappear.

If you set default bookmark folder to automatically add new bookmarks to firefox's "bookmarks menu" folder, it saves new bookmarks there properly, but then if you try and move or copy them to the "bookmarks toolbar" or "other bookmarks" folders, they seem to get saved there briefly, but then just automatically disappear, so it seems that default bookmark folder only saves bookmarks in the selected folder properly, but won't move or copy them to firefox's other two bookmarks folders.

Also, with default bookmark folder enabled, if you import bookmarks from an html file in firefox, all the imported bookmarks get imported in one list in a different order than they were saved in, and without any subfolders that were saved in the html file, so default bookmark folder needs to be disabled each time before moving or copying bookmarks to the "bookmarks toolbar" or "bookmarks menu" folders, or importing bookmarks from an html file in order to move, copy, or import them properly. It's been like that for the last few versions of default bookmark folder, and firefox. It would be great if you could fix that. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks, and have a great day.
