Once you have created a folder it's not possible to change the case of a
character in his name unless by renaming the folder in something different and
then renaming with the previous name but with the desidered case changes.
This would be correct if Mozilla presented the folder always in the same way
regardless of the characters' case in the folder's file name, but as it consider
it in the user interface, it's not correct.
Case is a control which Mozilla shouldn't make, and let Windows manage the
thing. I think this is a problem with the API used, but I think there are other
APIs which don't make controls over the characters entered.
This could be related to bug 264071: by solving it introducing a file containing
the name in UTF-8 maybe the problem could resolve, but I'm not sure of it.
Anyway I think this problem should be resolved without waiting for the other bug
to solve, by changing the API.

I think the classification as minor bug instead of rfe is correct.
I was pretty sure to find other reports, but I haven't found them so excuse me
if this is a duplicate.
