You would need to use an add-on. In a quick search, this one had strong reviews and a large enough user base to think that the reviews are reliable:

I have not used it myself (although I should!!)

On the author's github, you can submit issues and get direct assistance if needed. This was one of the more interesting tips I saw there:

Mozilla Firefox is a versatile web browser that offers numerous features to enhance users' browsing experience, including the ability to manage bookmarks efficiently. While Firefox doesn't natively provide a feature to display duplicate bookmarks within its library, there are several methods and add-ons you can utilize to achieve this functionality.

Splendid. Worked fine. Many thanks. If you dug this out of the ether, you are a talent. I've fiddled around on web for days to find such apps. I would hope Mozilla could bank such repairs into the HELP section - I am obviously not the first one to be bothered by dupes in the bookmarks.
