FIrefox won't let me save the same website to multiple bookmark files
I am using Firefox 19.0 on a MacBook Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2
I tried to bookmark a website in multiple folders. For example, this website had information about gardening, cleaning and beauty. I bookmarked it first in my gardening folder, then I changed the name of the bookmark and tried to save the site to my cleaning folder. I changed the name again and tried to save the site to my beauty folder. When I went back to check if it had worked, the site was not bookmarked in the gardening and cleaning folders, but was bookmarked in the beauty folder. I don't understand why I can't bookmark the same page in multiple folders. I may not think to look in the Beauty folder for information on gardening.

This has come up a few times before. Not sure whether all these old tricks work in the latest Firefox, but please take a look.
- How do I save a bookmark in mutible folders ? (Firefox 10)
- Save same bookmark in multiple folders without having to do it manually. Is there and add-on that can help me fix this issue? (recommends an extension)
- Can't bookmark same page in multiple folders (Firefox 3.6)
You need to copy and paste a bookmark via the right-click context menu to another folder if you want to have multiple copies of a bookmark.
There should be an "about:config" for this bug.
I call it a bug because Firefox does not notify me that it is ignoring new bookmarks and/or deleting existing ones when I bookmark the same link more than once, which I don't want to happen in the first place!.
In a closed thread referenced above a writer notes that users are supposed to use "tags", but I don't see any tag navigation feature in Firefox other than "recent tags", which is of no use to me for this use case.
Mozilla, please FIX this BUG in at least one of the following ways: 1) Just allow the same link to be stored in multiple folders (it was a dumb change anyway) 2) fix the bug by supporting a boolean about:config option to NOT automatically disregard bookmarks 3) if NOT fixed, fix the notification problem - tell users that their new bookmarks are being ignored, or old bookmarks are being deleted. 4) If the intent is really to "use tags", then create a tag navigation scheme (presumably with tag folders, so.... why bother?)
