You can make copies of the Mobile Bookmark folder in the View All Bookmarks UI. The problem here is that the copies also get the mobile/bookmarksRoot annotation and confuse the getter for kSpecialIDs.mobile. We should probably check for that annotation being added in the tracker and ensure that there's only one item with this annotation. To fix users existing databases, we might want to fix the kSpecialIDs.mobile getter. Note: This needs good testing on Fennec because Fennec actually creates a folder with this annotation to use as its root folder for bookmarks.

Bug 1302901 turned mobile into a real root, the annotation is only used for importing, and we're talking about removing annotations from Places entirely.
