Managing Bookmarks and Bookmark Folders in Firefox it is entirely too dangerous since one can accidentally delete a bookmark folder.   

With a Folder is selected during management one can open a Pop-Up Menue to  operate upon it.  Two of the operations which can be performed are:
  *  Delete Folder
   * Sort by Name

These commands should not be adjacent.  When doing extensive maintenance on a big folder structure it is too easy to click on "Delete Folder" when one intended to invoke "Sort by Name"  for the 77th time.   Deletion occurs immediately and irrevocably without any safety interlock.  

I recommend that Mozilla make all, or at lease most, of the following corrections: 

1) Put a no-op link above and another below the "Delete Folder" command, so that the part of the Pop-Up menue looks as follows:
     *** no-op ***
    Delete Folder
    *** no-op ***
   Sort by Name

2) Issue an "Are You Sure?" question if someone clicks on "Delete Folder" 

3) Save deleted folders and their contents to a Recently Deleted Folders Section so that they can be restored if they had been deleted accidentally
