My bookmarks mysteriously change folder names and positions in the tree

Sometimes when I go to add a folder, it gets repeated in different places, or overwrites an existing bookmark folder and mysteriously changes its location. It is very frustrating to try and categorize bookmarks when there is some gremlin or evil elf that confuses things. Category folders get renamed yet have totally unrelated links within it. Why can't bookmarks work like with some semblance of dependability like Windows Explorer does? What the hell is going on with bookmarks?!??

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

See bug #477687 . Not resolved until now, unfortunately. And very annoying, too! :(
