Today by mistake I deleted a very important bookmarks folder that contains several endpoint on a feature I'm working on for my mobile app

I was surprised that the Undo action is not active sad😭😭

Can you please add a confirmation dialog at least when the user try to delete a bookmark folder, I know that you are trying to not make the user take many actions to reach what he wants, but in this case you destroyed me not bring a benefit to me

Please find a solution for this

And by the way any way to restore my deleted bookmark folder?

Some time back I deleted a bookmark or folder that I didn't want to delete.

Without thinking where I was (Firefox context, within Windows, on a desktop PC) I did a Ctrl-Z and it recovered the deleted entry.

Just tested that with an empty folder, put 3 entries in it, deleted, Ctrl_Z and they show back up. Deleted the folder and Ctrl-Z, it showed back up. Deleted a folder with some entries, Ctrl-Z and folder showed up with entries. Created 3 folders with same 3 entries, Temp1, Temp2 and Temp3. Deleted #2,#1,#3. Ctrl-Z #3 back, Ctrl-Z #1 back, Ctrl-Z #2 back. No idea how large the recovery stack for Ctrl-Z is (and not going to test).

Hope that helps for the 'next time', lo

P.S. Warning - In case you haven't noticed 'yet': Firefox allows multiple folders with the same name in the same parent folder. That could get really confusing one would think.
