In Firefox 4, I have already deleted some bookmarks from the bookmarks menu, but the "Restore" option still allows anyone to go and find my personal information. How can I delete the information available to the "Restore" button?

Open the \bookmarkbackups\ folder in your Profile folder and delete all the JSON bookmark backup files with dates prior to the date when you deleted those bookmarks.
