Do you sync them across your devices via iCloud? On both your devices go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Tap See All > Then make sure Safari is turned on.

So you bookmarked a page on your iPhone, and now it is not visible in the list of bookmarks?
What location did you choose for the bookmark exactly?
When viewing the bookmark list, you can tap on the top right link text, to go up a folder level, you may need to tap it several times to get back to the main bookmark level and see the recently bookmarked page.

Tap the book icon at the bottom of Safari, then tap the book once more to reach your Bookmarks. From there check the folders to see if they went there.
Maybe you can check your search history?
How are you bookmarking these webpages?

I meant there should be some folders there. Search inside if your bookmarked webpage is there.
I did, it shows the sites, but not the bookmarks.
Oh, I did a test, and I saved a bookmark to a folder I knew how to access, and I can’t delete the test.
I created a folder and for bookmarks and I can’t find it, I even searched for it!!
Are you saying you saved a bookmark in Firefox on a computer, and are now expecting the bookmark to somehow magically make its way to Safari on your iPhone?
If so, the only way that works is if you have the Firefox iCloud extension installed on the computer:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/icloud-bookmarks/
Otherwise, there is no direct link between Firefox and Safari.
Sorry about how long it took me to get back to you, I lost track of this post.
I came to give an update:
they are saved, but I can’t find them. Siri suggestions showed some of the pages that I bookmarked. How do I know? The source said folder bookmarks.

There is only one folder but it’s the wrong one, I saved it to the bookmarks folder which I can’t find.
Sorry I can’t send very fast because the limits are slowing me down.
Try Katana-San’s advice. You may have accidentally deleted it, in which you might be able to restore it.
Thanks for the thought, I didn’t delete it, so I don’t know what is going on.
How can I recover missing bookmarks in Safari?
