  • "Recently Bookmarked" is a so called Smart Bookmark that shows the result of a place query in a list.
  • Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox 3 and later.
  • The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
  • Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
  • The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
  • Any actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
