Description

I have an LDAP directory with the following structure

dn: cn=x xx,ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=fr
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: x xx
sn: xx
givenName: x
mail: [e-mail]

this person may have several posix accounts

dn: uid=xx,cn=x xx,ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=fr
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
cn: x xx
uidNumber: 0
gidNumber: 0
homeDirectory: /home/xx
userPassword:: [hidden]
uid: xx

when using the filter feature "(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)", I get multiple
records per user, one for the inetOrgPerson record, and one for each posixAccount


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create ldap server with the above structure, and one or more posix account
per person
2. try to show that ldap server in mozilla
3. curse

Actual Results:  
shows :

x xx
x xx   [e-mail]

Expected Results:  
should only show one record, as in

x xx   [e-mail]
