402381 - Wish there was a check before deleting Bookmark folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 208399

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Bernie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

In the Bookmark sidebar, if you accidentally hit the Delete key while a bookmark folder is highlighted the folder is deleted with no warning or confirmation.  This can wipe out a lot of information.  Over the past year or two I've apparently done that twice (I'm not actually aware of hitting the Delete key, but a bookmark subfolder was gone so I must have.)  Fortunately I've had a backup of my bookmarks file and was able to restore the whole thing -- once I noticed that something was missing.  But in both cases I didn't immediately notice that something was missing.  A confirmation should be required before deleting a bookmark folder, and probably also before deleting a single bookmark as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Display the Bookmarks Sidebar
2.  In the Sidebar, highlight and delete a folder.

Actual Results:  
The folder and all of the bookmarks that it contained will instantly be gone.

Expected Results:  
Desired result is a request for confirmation before actually doing the delete.

Dupe of Bug 254601, which is duped to Bug 208399.
