Do NOT try to move or delete bookmarks or other information from "Most Visited", "Recently Bookmarked", or "Recent Tags" folders. Do NOT add anything to these 3 folders. These are referred to as Smart Folders and are automatic queries of Bookmarks located elsewhere in your Bookmarks folders. If you delete an item from one of the Smart Folders, you also will delete the original underlying Bookmark. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Smart+Bookmarks+folders
