Bug Description
Though I can understand the rationale for making all new bookmarks go into an "Unsorted Bookmarks" area, I think that it would be good if Firefox provided an option to allow the user to change the default save location for new bookmarks, because I for one don't want to have to move every new bookmark I make to the "Bookmarks Toolbar", I would like to be able to have them just go there automatically, but I can't currently so it would be good if there were an option to change the default save location of bookmarks.

Build ID: 20171022220103
Steps to reproduce:
I updated the FF 58 Nightly build from the Oct 23rd, 2017 release to the new version from the 24th and/or higher. I thought this was a mistake, but it is still broken.
Actual results:
The default bookmark location is overwritten to "Other bookmarks" a sub folder which is hard to access and forces me to change the folder I want to save to manually every single time, ruining the usability by adding a unecessary extra clicks.
Expected results:
Leave the default bookmark location as "Bookmark menu" as it always has been or implement an about:config preference or setting that allows me to change the default bookmark location to any folder I please.
