User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Mozilla will not create duplicate bookmarks of the same page when CTRL-D is pressed (win32 platform tested) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.on a page (any) press CTRL-D multiple times (to add to bookmarks) 2.open bookmark manager and look at the last entries 3. Actual Results: In bookmark manager, the page where I pressed CTRL-D appears only once, regardless of how many times I pressed CTRL-D. Same result is obtained if "Bookmark this page" is selected from menu bar or popup menu. If the bookmark exists earlier in the list, it is not added again. Expected Results: Expect a bookmark of a page to be created each time I issue the command to cread a bookmark (CTRL-D, bookmark this page from menus). If bookmark of the page exists, I add it now, but Mozilla won't create a duplicate, if I check the bookmark manager last entry and I don't see it - source for confusion. Suggested behaviour: variant 1: create a bookmark each time such a command is issued. variant 2: add a configuration option (prefs) on how to handle duplicate bookmarks a) using variant 1 b) do not create duplicate duplicate bookmarks, but for the existing bookmark, the "Added" timestamp should be updated to the current time, as a sort by "added" (default) will display it as last bookmark. c) add a command in the bookmark manager to find duplicate bookmarks and keep only one copy of them.
This is a dupe (a special case) of Bug 51683, "Unable to have 2 differently named bookmarks for the same url". Please mark.
