I am unable to bookmark the same website in two different bookmark folders without one being automatically deleted by Firefox?

I am a recent convert to Firefox. Regarding bookmarks: it seems that you cannot create a new bookmark the same website in two or more different bookmark folders. For example, if I bookmark a website in a bookmark folder called 'ABC' and then bookmark the same website in a different bookmark folder called XYZ, the bookmark will be in XYZ, but will be removed from ABC. This happens even when I assign a different name for the bookmark in ABC and XYZ. Is this the correct bookmark functionality or am I not doing something correctly? Thanks.

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.
