Currently, we're only restoring the currently open folder in the bookmarks panel when we open the home panels by directly navigating to about:home (usually by going back in the tab history). Maybe we should instead always restore the previously open bookmarks folder, i.e. even when we're showing the home panels through - switching to a different tab that is already at about:home - clicking into the address bar We're already storing the folder stack information each time it changes (https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/e7b795db8b5b20c472d8070030e9b08c99a01db6/mobile/android/base/java/org/mozilla/gecko/home/BookmarksPanel.java#304), so it's just a matter of retrieving that info for the above cases as well.

I would expect Firefox to remember the bookmark > folder location. Alternative scenario: 1. Open a new tab, go to some bookmark subfolder and click a link. 2. When the page has loaded, *don't* go back, instead open the home panels by clicking into the address bar. Expected: The bookmark folder from step 1 is shown. Actual: The root folder is shown. This also overwrites the stored bookmarks folder position from step 1, so if you close the home panel and then go back after all, about:home will still not show the original folder, but instead whatever folder you had open at the end of step 2

*If* we decide to do this, then it might perhaps be nice if we could also remember the current scroll position of the list view.
