Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use Floccus to sync both my tabs and my bookmarks from several devices and Firefox Profiles (mostly to have a Firefox Profile for each Plasma Activity).

As a consequence, Nextcloud Bookmarks finds a lot of “duplicates” – every bookmark that I also opened in a tab counts as a duplicate. Which is super-annoying when trying to clean up duplicates

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great to be able to exclude specific folders from the “Duplicates” search.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could stop syncing tabs to Nextcloud Bookmarks – but makes it much less useful than it is right now to me, as I have it set up in a way that it can replace Firefox Sync.

Research direction

Start at the Duplicates search entry point and trace how bookmarks and synced tabs are included. Determine how selectable folders could be excluded, then verify that duplicates in excluded folders no longer appear while duplicates elsewhere still do.
