(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

When deleting a bookmark from the bookmark drop down menu (right click bookmark
- delete) Firefox does not ask me for confirmation that I want to do so.  This
is expected behaviour in Windows environment.  I am not asked for confirmation
whether it is a bookmark or a folder, this also applies in the bookmark manager.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a bookmark in drop down menu or manager
2. Click Delete
3.

Actual Results:  
Bookmark deleted

Expected Results:  
Firefox should request confirmation

Deleting bookmarks in IE brings up a confirmation, but that's because you are
moving actual .url files and directories in the filesystem to the Recycle Bin,
and the OS itself is asking for confirmation. We aren't deleting files, just
some text in a file, and even if you delete from the Bookmarks menu, you can
still go to the Bookmarks Manager and Undo.
