new bookmark is copy of existing bookmark feature request
Feature request: when you go to the menu and select "bookmark this page" if the page has already been bookmarked the menu selection becomes "Edit this bookmark". Why not let the user decide if she or he wants to create a second copy of this bookmark (in the bookmarks menu for example) in the same or a different submenu. I would find this useful. Currently when using "Edit this bookmark" I would typically move the bookmark from a submenu to the main menu list or leave it where it was originally. There is a much slower method, namely to use "show all bookmarks" and manually copy and paste the bookmark to a new location but this is slow, complicated and not very practical (first you have to hunt down the original location of the bookmark which is revealed by "edit this bookmark"). Secondly, it would be useful to have a deduplicate option to remove specific unwanted duplicates.

Firefox bookmarks have worked like that since 2008 when "Places" was first introduced with Firefox 3.0 . The "Tags" feature was introduced at that time and intended to "tag" bookmarks by category; multiple "tags" rather than the same bookmark saved multiple times to different folders. Personally I never got the 'hang' of that feature and have never used "Tags" feature. I just have continued to save the same bookmark to different folders as I have done since 1996 with Netscape.
An undocumented feature in Firefox is that a bookmark can be saved by dragging a Tab into the Bookmarks menu drop-down (that menu will open as part of the "drag" move with a slight hover on that Menu) or the Bookmarks Sidebar; no need to open the Library window and make a 'copy'. Doing it in that manner overrides the "block" to save multiples of the exact same bookmark.
Saving to the Menu Bar > Bookmarks can be a little dicey if you are using a lot of nested folders - folders within folders within other folders and so forth. Miss or 'overshoot your target folder' and the drop-down menu closes quickly; so I open the Bookmarks Sidebar using { Ctrl + B }, then open the folder I want to save a 'new' bookmark in, and then drag the Tab in to the position I want the bookmark to assume.
