Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 208399

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Sergei Shelukhin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

WHen you choose to delete something from context menu in the bookmark menu,
there's no confirmation. There's no undo. There's no backup (boookmarks.bak is
updated at once). Misclick by one point from Sort By Name and boom! a whole
folder with some links I had saved is gone.

I am not sure if I filed it with the right level but it does cause a data loss.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open bookmarks menu in the main window.
2. Choose the folder with the greatest amount of valuable, useful or rare links
you have.
3. Right click on it.
4. Click "delete".

Actual Results:  
The folder was gone forever. 

Expected Results:  
Options:
1) Display me a confirmation box?
2) Provide me an undo option?
3) Have a backup?

It's ,uch easier with IE cause bookmarks are just files and you can restore them
from recycle bin on accidental deletion. Oh and it has confirmation too afair.
