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.

3Backups 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 – xypha – 2015-10-20T07:02:44.343
