The new "Open the Bookmarks manager in the same folder you were in last time" feature announced by Jon von Tetzchner in :

https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-android-6-7/

has been broken in the latest update on Android (Vivaldi Android 6.8).

I have noticed this in snapshot for quite a while and have send feedback on at least 3 occasions but never got a response.

The last user feedback I provided was as follows (I first raised VAB-9395 on 13 Jun and then VAB-9437 on 25 Jun) :

In the mean time the old version of the app which remembers the bookmark folder can be found at :

apk for arm64-v8a @ uptodown

and :

apk for armeabi-v7a @ uptodown

Thanks for reporting. We've confirmed and reopened the task.

@jane-n Hello, thank you very much for this.

Will this feature be implemented in both Snapshot and main release or only the main release?

It would be great if it could also be implemented in Snapshot also, so that in future users can discover break of functionality before updates reach main release. Thanks

Everything in the Stable version of Vivaldi goes through Snapshots first.

the feature in my version is gone, now it doesn't even remember maybe it removed

@jane-n Hi I think I might have noticed another problem in current snapshot. The details of the problem mentioned in Bookmark counts not showing under folder also appear in snapshot. Maybe these two issues (the one above and the one in the link just given) can be merged into the same task item. Thanks

As I replied in the linked topic, we've confirmed the regression and hope to have a fix for it soon.

@jane-n : This has now been fixed in Vivaldi Android Browser snapshot 3446.3 as mentioned here :

Thank you very much for your help on this (and thanks to developer who fixed)
