bookmark this page disappears replaced by edit bookmarks

more options

I can use "bookmark this page" a few times, but this then disappears and is replaced by "edit this bookmark". However, the only thing available under "edit this bookmark" is "remove bookmarks". Occasionally it goes back to "bookmark this page" but this works for only two or three times before it is once again replaced by "edit this bookmark" with the same limitation described above.

Chosen solution

That is how it works. Once you have bookmarked a link then the link becomes a bookmark and "Bookmark this page" becomes "Edit this bookmark" to indicate that you can edit the bookmark. If you want to bookmark a link a second time then you need to create a copy of the bookmark or drag the tab or Site Identity Button to create an extra copy.

Pressing the bookmarks Star will automatically save that bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder. Pressing the Star a second time brings up that bookmark in an edit window. From here you can remove it, or edit the information (name, web address, stored bookmark folder).
