Different Contextual menus sometimes use different hotkeys, "t" is for Cut in that Contextual menu to remain consistent with the other Cut, Copy, & Paste functions elsewhere.

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
