When one selects a folder in the bookmarks sidebar and presses the delete key,
the folder is immediately deleted.  As I navigate the sidebar with the keyboard
(including the home and end keys), I've on several occasions mistakenly deleted
entire bookmarks folders.  It would be nice to have a dialog display with a
warning "Are you sure you want to delete the entire *Name* bookmark folder?" 
yes/no.  Perhaps a "Don't warn me about this" checkbox would be desireable as
well for users who don't want the distraction.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open bookmarks sidebar
2.  Select an unexpanded bookmarks folder
3.  Press the Delete key on the keyboard

Actual Results:  
The folder was deleted

Expected Results:  
A warning dialog asking if I meant to delete the entire folder
