When I browse the web i keep book marking stuffs i feel intrested in. But the problem is i may book mark the same page again since i look up to my book marks maybe weeks later. So is there a way to stop this. maybe some think like a pop up menu reminding me i have already book marked this page.

I would also like to know is there a way to arrange book marks in order. Like the links from same page get organize together. Similar stuffs automatically gets sorted out. any thing like that..?

If a link already has been bookmarked then Firefox should show the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog instead of creating a new (multiple) bookmark with the same URL in case you click the star on the location bar.

Can you confirm that you actually get multiple bookmarks?

That would be to order bookmarks by URL.

I drag and drop the link to my folders .

You can't avoid that if you drag a link.
If you drag a link to a folder then Firefox doesn't check if the link already exists as this is a way to have multiple copies of a bookmark in addition on to a copy/paste.
To avoid having multiple bookmarks of the same link you would have to click the star on the location bar twice to bookmark the link and subsequently open the Edit This Bookmark dialog.
