User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2

If a bookmark is accidentally deleted, for instance by clicking on "Delete" option instead of "Properties" in its context menu in the bookmarks menu or bookmarks toolbar, there is no way to cancel it.

The only way to retrieve is is to open the bookmarks sidebar or the library (Bookmarks menu > Organize Bookmarks…) and then to hit the Ctrl+Z shortcut (or Organize > Cancel in the Library).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmark a page in the Bookmarks Menu
2. Open the Bookmarks menu
3. Right-click on the created bookmark and select "Delete"
4. Try to retrieve it.

-- or --

1. Bookmark a page in the Bookmarks Toolbar
2. Display the Bookmarks Toolbar if needed
3. Right-click on the created bookmark and select "Delete"
4. Try to retrieve it.
Actual Results:  
There is no way to retrieve it without opening the Library or the Sidebar.

Expected Results:  
Ctrl+Z shortcut in the menu or a "Cancel" option in the context menu should allow to cancel the deletion.

Prompting the user when he tries to delete a bookmark

Either there should be a way to undo the deletion, or the bookmark could be
sent to a trash folder, but I agree deleting without even prompting or giving a
way to undo is problematic.
