When I visit the site listed in the URL above or any other site and bookmark it,
Mozilla does not check for duplicate bookmarks within the current bookmark
folder or any bookmark folder.  For instance I can have multiple instances of
the same bookmark http://www.linux.org.

2.Book mark the page
3.Close browser
4.Open new browser.
5.Visit the same website.
6.Bookmark page
7.Close browser
8.Open browser
8.Move bookmark to different folder
9.Visit same site
10.Bookmark

Actual Results:  
No error or anything. The bookmark appears in the address.

Expected Results:  
Checked the absolute and relative path to determine if the bookmark already
existed or if it was a separate instance of the same site that should've been saved.

Duplicate bookmarks are allowed and was also a frequently requested feature btw.
Dup of bug 10198 by way of dup bug 203857 and others:
"Warn user if adding an existing bookmark."
