You deleted a folder from the Windows file system, or a folder from your Firefox bookmarks???

If you delete a folder in the Windows file system, normally it goes into the Recycle Bin. See: ws.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recover-files-recycle-bin#1TC=windows-7

Edit: That link got cut off, here it is again: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recover-files-recycle-bin#1TC=windows-7

If you deleted a folder of Firefox bookmarks, and if you have not closed out of Firefox, you can undo the change in the Library dialog. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+b
  • Bookmarks menu button > Show All Bookmarks

On the toolbar/menu bar of the Library dialog look for Organize (the first menu) and use Undo. You may need to use it several times if you made further changes after that.

Any progress?
