352650 - Deleting a bookmark should warn the user

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 208399

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Raj]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

When a bookmark (link/folder) is deleted, the user should be cautioned/warned with an option to either confirm or cancel the deletion action.

This is critical when the deletion is done using the "Delete" keyboard key because there is every possibility that the key gets pressed accidently and if the user doesn't have the option to cancel this operation, then the bookmark would get deleted straight.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a bookmark (can be from the Bookmark menu or bookmark toolbar or Bookmarks Manager or any other way of accessing the bookmarks)
2. Delete the bookmark (either using the "Delete" keyboard key or using the right click menu context menu)


Actual Results:  
The bookmark gets deleted without warning the user and the user has no option to get it back if deleted by mistake!!!

Expected Results:  
The user should be warned by way of a deletion confirmation window (sort of popup) with options to either confirm ('Ok') or cancel the deletion action ('Cancel')

Most of the applications/products follow this standard of warning/confirming from the user before deleting - hence will help in bringing in consistency with the industry best practice
