How do I create a duplicate bookmark without going into the bookmark library and copying it

I use "bookmark all tabs" to temporarily save a group of pages I'm using.

If I previously bookmarked one of these pages, the old bookmark gets deleted without warning.

I don't want this behavior, it STINKS (to put it nicely) that there is no option to keep the previous bookmark.

I want the bookmark that I carefully saved into a specific folder to remain so that I can delete my temporary folder without needing to move each of the bookmarks back to it's original folder.

I guess you have a control freak who knows what is best for everyone working on your bookmark functionality.

Old Add Bookmark Behavior: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/8479 --- You can do a Copy & Paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Shift+Ctrl+B) to create a copy of a bookmark. You can also drag the (fav)icon in the location bar to a folder in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or to a folder in the side bar (Ctrl+B) or to the Bookmarks Toolbar. In the side bar you need to click to the left of the icon to prevent Firefox from opening the bookmark.

Thank You Cor-el,

I'm trying out the Addon now.
