Trying to delete bookmarks in recently bookmarked
I'm trying to delete the bookmarks in the "Recently Bookmark" folder without deleting said bookmarks from the folders that I moved them to.

"Recently Bookmarked" isn't a real bookmarks folder.
Why not just delete the "Recently Bookmarked" folder? Just right-click and select delete.
- "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
- Such smart folders show a list with 10 entries created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
- Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
- If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
- If 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.
- Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
- If you do not want a specific list then remove that query (right-click: Delete), but do not delete the content that is displayed in such a list.
