Just looking thru a bookmarks folder "music" and decided to delete an old folder within it. Unfortunately I managed to delete the whole music folder!!!!. It is not in the recycle bin which I find strange , so is there another way I can restore this valuable bookmark folder. Is it hidden in Firefox somewhwere? Just so you know, I am not that great with computer speak so would appreciate any help being fairly straightforward if poss. Cheers.

Chosen solution

If you haven't closed Firefox yet, just open the Library window and use Organize > Undo.

If you have closed Firefox, restore a bookmark backup from before that deletion. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them

Tried that but still havn't got the music folder back. Any more solutions please?

Ok the-edmeister, appologies for the last hasty reply. I only tried your first solution which did not work. have now tried the second solution ie. to restore from backup, and it worked brilliantly. Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
