321088 - When adding a bookmark for the same page twice, instead of updating the existing bookmark, it adds a duplicate entry.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 261744

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

When you add a page to your bookmarks and add the same page again, instead of overwriting the original bookmark, it adds a duplicate copy. I don't know if this is a bug or by design but sometime's I like to know if I have already added a page to my bookmarks. And with Firefox you can't do that. If you add the exact same page to your bookmarks, it will just add another copy of the bookmark. This can eventually clutter your bookmarks with a bunch of dupes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just add any page to your bookmarks twice.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
There will NOT be a dialog asking you to overwrite the existing entry. Rather it will just added the same page twice.

Expected Results:  
Have a dialog asking if you want to overwrite the existing entry. This makes it easier for users to know if they have already added a page to their bookmarks or not. And that way we don't have to go through our bookmarks deleting duplicate entries.

None
