Change the default Bookmarks Folder In Firefoxov
The default bookmarks folder in Firefox is Other Bookmarks.
Is is possible to change it to Bookmarks Toolbar? (If possible without add-ons).

The Bookmarks Toolbar option is inbuilt into 68.02.2 (64 bit).

Since there is no possible way to change the default bookmarks folder without add-ons, I found myself obliged to use one (Default Bookmark Folder).
By using this add-on, it is possible to change the default bookmarks folder to any other folder (Bookmarks Toolbar in my case).
It even has a quick bookmarking feature.
This feature will add a quick bookmark icon in the address bar, to (un)bookmark a page with only one click. The icon is a round star icon in the address bar. If the current page is bookmarked, the icon color will change to the selected color (red by default). Here is a screenshot to serve as examples: when the current page is not bookmarked and when it is.
