Any way for the recently accessed bookmark folders to be remembered?

Hi,

Suppose I have a bookmark folder A, which includes a sub-folder B.

In sub-folder B, there are two bookmark items: X and Y.

I want to open item X from the Bookmarks button on the tool bar. So, I click on the Bookmarks button, move mouse pointer all the way to folder A, then branch to sub-folder B and lastly click on item X to open it.

Immediately after doing the above, I want to open item Y which resides in sub-folder B, too.

My question is:"Now, is there a quicker way to reach sub-folder B than repeating the afore-mentiond mouse actions?"

In other words, can the last accessed folder be remembered and just one click away without branching into sub-folders again? Maybe there could be a "Last accessed folder" button, or a 

"Recently accessed folders" button, or something?

Easiest to do that is to open the Bookmarks sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks; Ctrl+B).

I think what you mean is:"In the Bookmark side bar, the last accessed bookmark remains displayed . So, it's very eazy to access the other bookmarks in the same folder." I agree on that. But I presonally like to use the Bookmarks button, one benefit of which is no mouse clicking is involved.

Hope there would be a "Recently accessed folders" item under the Bookmarks button/menu, together with "Recentl tags" and "Recently bookmarked."

I found a "Recently Used Bookmarks Folder" extension, which uses a toolbar button to display what its name indicates. But it's only compatible with Firefox 3.5~3.7 and very buggy with a forced installaion on my Firefox 9.0.1.
