User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

Scenario:
Adding a new bookmark with same name does not throw any warning.
For example:For same web page which is open in Firefox browser if I select "Bookmark This Page" OR CTRL+D twice the same page is added to bookmarks twice.

Expected Result:
Error message should be displayed and the new bookmark with same title should not be added if a bookmark with same title already exists. As there exists 2 entries in Bookmarks with same title thereafter which may be confusing.

Notes:
Same feature is implemented in IE where User is not allowed to add 2 bookmarks with same name,in case it is done the error message is displayed and then user has to change the name of second bookmark.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any webpage in Firefox. Say open "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/" 
2.Select "Bookmark"->"Bookmark This Page" option. OR press CTRL+D and select "OK" option when a popup menu opens to boookmark the page. A new entry is created in Bookmarks with title "Enter A Bug". 
3.Again Select "Bookmark"->"Bookmark This Page" option. OR press CTRL+D and select "OK" option when a popup menu opens to boookmark the page.One more new entry is created in Bookmarks with title "Enter A Bug". 
4.This is undesrable as there exists a Bookmark with title "Enter A Bug" and therefore step 3 should throw an error stating that the Bookmark with same name already exists.
