Steps to reproduce:

Start a fresh install of Thunderbird and create a new RSS feeds account.
Right click open the context menu "Subscribe" on the RSS account item in the main window.
Subscribe dialog pops open.
Entered a valid RSS feed URL in the address bar and clicked “Add”.

Two new nodes were added in the tree view of the subscribe dialog:

One folder item with the name of the new feed which contains one child item with the name of the feed.

Actual results:

When removing that feed again, the empty folder stays there. I don’t want to waste my time with having to delete that folder separately costing me at least 3 clicks.

Expected results:

gI’d like to have a property which I can configure in about:config so that the folder automatically is deleted once it is empty.
