When organizing the bookmarks in my Firefox browser I had a folder highlighted and hit Delete by mistake. How can I recover the folder?
NOTE: It's too late to hit Control + Z, and the bookmarked sites aren't in my history anymore.

From this discussion on the Firefox forums:
[...] you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore
This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created. See:
In that case, you need to export the current bookmarks to an HTML file before doing the restore and import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup.
- Bookmark Deduplicator: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-deduplicator/

4Backups of your bookmarks can be found in this location:
%AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile name>\bookmarkbackups. Go to Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose file > browse to the above location & select to restore– xyphaOct 20, 2015 at 7:02
