Bugzilla

We currently don't have any tests verifying default bookmarks. We'd likely need marionette-like tests that start up the browser from a fresh browser.

Some notes about default bookmarks:
- On Firefox, default bookmarks are usually displayed on the Bookmarks Toolbar (ex. "Get Involved" is one of the default bookmarks on Nightly)
- The file containing default bookmarks is in [browser/base/content/default-bookmarks.html](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/aec3a901e6f6b3041b5ec457c9111a042cef1fb1/browser/base/content/default-bookmarks.html). The default bookmarks differ depending on whether we're loading a nightly, beta, or release version of Firefox. (For context, see our [release schedule](https://whattrainisitnow.com/calendar/)).
- For this Bugzilla ticket, let's try to add a test to verify bookmarks according to Firefox version. We can use [AppConstants](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/aec3a901e6f6b3041b5ec457c9111a042cef1fb1/toolkit/modules/AppConstants.sys.mjs#15,22,29) in our test file to determine what version of Firefox we're using.
- There are other tests that verify default bookmarks (ex. see [browser/components/places/tests/unit/test_browserGlue_corrupt_nobackup_default.js](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/aec3a901e6f6b3041b5ec457c9111a042cef1fb1/browser/components/places/tests/unit/test_browserGlue_corrupt_nobackup_default.js#39-49)). They however don't check default bookmarks for other Firefox versions, which is what we want to do.

Some steps for guidance:
- For more information about writing tests, see [this Firefox Source Docs article on testing](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/urlbar/testing.html).
- As for where to add the test, maybe adding it in [this directory](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/test/menubar) would be a good start.
- We can fetch bookmarks from the toolbar by calling `await PlacesUtils.bookmarks.fetch` with parentGuid as `PlacesUtils.bookmarks.toolbarGuid`. Use [searchfox](https://searchfox.org/) to find examples.
