This extension lets you define a default location for new bookmarks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-bookmark-folder/
Beyond that, there's bug 1432604 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1432604), which just landed in Nightly builds a few days ago for what will become Firefox 84 in a month or two. It makes Firefox remember the most recently selected bookmark destination, so users would only need to pick a different destination folder once, and it would continue to be used from then on. I think that patch adds a preference to track the most-recently-selected folder. From some quick testing, it looks like `browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation` gets set to a value of "menu________" or "toolbar_____" for the bookmarks menu or bookmarks toolbar, respectively. I'm unsure what the underscores represent (or if they're even necessary), but in theory, you might be able to use a policy to pre-set that preference to one of those values, and it might get a saner default for your users.
