306165 - Import Bookmarks do not overwrite

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 271437

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Acs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I have two computer, one at home and a new laptop. I imported the bookmarks from
my home computer to my laptop, but then I added a few links to the bookmarks
list of my home computer, and then tried to update the laptop. To my surprise,
the bookmarks do not overwrite when I import. So if I have a folder in the
bookmarks named "Programming Links" in my home computer, I then export my
bookmarks and then import them to my laptop, if I already have a folder named
"Programming Links" it doesn't get updated, firefox just creates a new folder
with the same name. This is something I think is really stupid (sorry, but I
really do), because I just want to update, there is no point in having two
folders with the same name.

Another thing I just want to mention since I am on this subject, is the fact
that firefox does not warn you if the bookmark you are going to add, exists in
your bookmarks list or not. That is another thing I really find stupid.

Hope you can fix this :)
