If you open a List of contact then click Ok to save it, wether you updated it or
not, Thunderbird will create a "ghost" duplicate of all the contacts present in
the List. When you close and re-open the Address Book, the duplicates are gone.

3. Open the List
4. Click OK.
5. Notice duplicates of all the conacts present in the list.
6. Close/re-open the Address Book
7. Notice the duplicates are gone.
Actual Results:  
See above.

Expected Results:  
When closing the List, it should just update it and not show any ghost duplicates.
