More bookmarks than expected reported in FHR?

You /can/ make queries(ctrl-shift-B, right click in the main area, add 
bookmark):

There was a bit of a lifehack-style push back in Firefox 2(maybe 3) when 
it was a "pro tip" kind of deal and you could download premade 
queryfolders but I'd bet no more than 10000 users have anything outside 
the default 3.

(Although as an odd fact, I had a weird bug where all my bookmarks 
duplicated over back in the day and over so I actually have 20 
queryfolders... not that I use thembut it makes my profile a good test 
profile.)
