I think im not the only one who accidentially removed a bookmark.
It would be great if that bookmarks were not deleted immediately.
I thought about a recycle-bin for bookmarks which optionally gets emptied when closing firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Works for me in Firefox 3.5 beta 3, but you have to use the undo in the
Bookmarks Organizer, not in the Edit-menu. If you want that, see bug 381770.

Does the undo persist across sessions? A restored session and a new session?

Just for the record, I don't think it should persist across sessions as is such with every program I have ever used.

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

no, undo does not persist across sessions

This something that should be implemented as an extension. -> WONTFIX.
