Double bookmarks?
I copied bookmarks from the "Recently Bookmarked" folder to a folder I created. When I delete them from the "Recently Bookmarked" folder, it deletes them from the new folder I created too! Then I have to continually have to click "undo" to get them back. I end up with doubles of the same bookmarks once again in both folders! What is the answer to avoid this goofy situation?

The Recently Bookmarked folder is not actually a folder. It's a list generated based on your actual bookmarks. Since it's not a folder, anything you do to the bookmarks in the Recently Bookmarked section is actually being done to the bookmark itself.
So, when you press the delete button on a bookmark listed in the recently bookmarked section, you aren't removing it from the list, you are actually deleting the bookmark from your system entirely.
Hopefully I explained that clear enough for you. Hope this helps.

Note that you can open a bookmark in a tab and click the highlighted star to edit the folder where this bookmark is saved.
The "Edit This Bookmark" dialog that opens if you click the highlighted star has a checkbox with "Show editor when saving" (shortcut key in the dialog is Alt+S). This item is at the bottom just above "Remove Bookmark" and "Done".

As posted above, Recently Bookmarked is not a real folder, but is a so called smart folder bookmark that shows the result of a database query, in this case a list of bookmarks sorted by date created. If you remove an item from a smart folder list then this item will be replaced by the next in the query results until all bookmarks have been deleted, so don't use this.
