- Refresh the page so Firefox would display "Looks like there's a problem with your internet connection".

- In the popup whether we rename the bookmark or not the bug will sill occur, just click on "add".

Additional information
Why am I doing this?
I want to make a specific bookmark on my home screen that points to a specific place within a "webapp" type webpage. The workaround for this on Firefox mobile (& ios safari as well btw) is to turn off the internet & refresh the page before making the bookmark, otherwise only the intro page of the webapp can be bookmarked.
