I am using Sync. I have a lot of bookmarks saved. When I want to add a new one, I will sometimes get a delete button(asking to delete some number of bookmarks) in the top of the box to pick witch folder to put the bookmark in. Is this deleting duplicates? Do I have too many bookmarks? I don't always get the delete button.

That means that that URL is already bookmarked (more than once if you see a count) possibly on one of the other computers if you didn't do it yourself.

In that case you need to make a copy of that bookmark in the Library or sidebar or edit the existing bookmark (change the name or the folder location).
