Comment 23 for bug 1586822

One way to integrate a "don't remember the last used folder" preference into the UI would be to have a checkbox labelled something like "Use this folder next time"; checked by default; located in the bookmark editor (the one that pops up from the bookmark creation star icon).

I think this would have to be accompanied by a change of behaviour, so that the folder is considered to be "used" if it gets selected in the editor UI, rather than waiting for a bookmark to be saved into it. Otherwise it could get rather confusing.

Then, if the checkbox is unchecked, the next time the editor shows, it defaults to a specific location (e.g. Other Bookmarks) and the box remains unchecked until manually checked again.

This was not an immediately obvious idea to me, so I thought I'd put on the table in case this preference gets implemented. There may very well be better ways, of course.
