> Is there a way to filter the duplicates out?

Not easily.  I suppose a modified merge_completers() could extract all
the completions, sort and uniquify them, then return the survivors to
pre-sorted order.  I'm not particularly motivated to do so, for
several reasons.

Firstly, I no longer personally care for having both bookmark and
history completion.  I have only webjump and history completion
enabled and I access bookmarks (with completion) via the "bookmark"
webjump.

Secondly, it's possible to have duplicates in any case, simply by
having multiple bookmarks of the same page.  That tends to happen for
me, mostly because I don't cull the bookmarks (as there's currently no
convenient way to do so).  Having many bookmarks isn't really an
issue, because the completion mechanism is superb.

Thirdly, this is in any case just a workaround for a mozilla bug;
maybe it will be fixed one day.  But probably not; I can't access the
bug server now, but I seem to recall the bug has been known for many
years.

In any case, I think the present patch is an incremental improvement
that's worth having for now.
