212022 - duplicate bookmarks allowed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 10198

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[John Franson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The new version allows the same bookmark to be added several times to the same
folder. This is pointless. I'll often bookmark a site multiple times because I
didn't remember that I already bookmarked it. The old version cut down on
clutter by not allowing more than one bookmark of the same site in any folder.
If some insist on having 50 bookmarks for the same site in one folder, at least
give users the ability to set a preference allowing or disallowing this function.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmark a site.
2. Bookmark a site to the same folder.
3. Repeat.

Actual Results:  
Multiple bookmarks of the same site appeared in a single folder, causing clutter
and redundance.

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't have allowed multiple bookmarks of the same site in the same folder.

The old version was allowing the duplicates, just not showing them (along with
some other bad behavior).  Anyway, this is a dupe
