Having a page open in FF, when I save the relative bookmark using Bookmarks->Bookmark this page->Show all the bookmarks folder-> <selection of folder> ->Done, if a duplicate of the bookmark exists in another folder it is deleted. In order to better organize my bookmarks I'd prefer to have duplicates permitted. Is it possible?

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 on the left end of 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.
