Script for creating large number of bookmarks: https://gist.github.com/kitcambridge/ae61d4e8ce54db74d18379c5d8393258


1. Launch a Firefox profile and add some bookmarks (run the initial script without making any changes (20 bookmarks per folder))
2. Move the whole "Folder 2-2" from Parent "Folder 1-1" to "Folder 1-0"
3. Trigger a Sync
4. Validate parent "Folder 1-0" contains the both duplicate folders on Desktop
5. Sign in to Sync with the same account on Android device
6. Validate parent "Folder 1-0" contain the both duplicate folders on Android

ER: on Android device the parent "Folder 1-0" contain the both folders (as on Desktop)
AR: the both folders are merged into one folder on Android device 


When making changes on the Android device (delete or edit bookmarks) and trigger a Sync half of the bookmarks are merged on the Desktop as well.
Sadly, this is by design in the current de-duping logic. We're looking at making this better in bug 1323333.
