This is by design and will not be changed.  There are no compelling reasons to
force people to have unique folder names.

That won't fix much, and it'll deny a useful pattern.

Say I have two sets of bookmarks, one for Toolkit and one for Firefox.  Why
shouldn't I be allowed to have the following structure?

Firefox
- Bonsai Queries
- Bugzilla Queries
Toolkit
- Bonsai Queries
- Bugzilla Queries

In any case, its not up for debate.  We removed the unique requirements for
bookmarks and folders, and we're not going to break this in a post 1.0 world
without a massive reason.  Yours simply is nowhere near justification for
breaking existing clients by making a significant change.

This isn't a democracy, just because Bugzilla allows you to reopen it doesn't
mean you have say in whether this is a WONTFIX or not.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
