Please provide exact Steps to Reproduce. Specifically, what do you mean by "join" another page?  Also, a specific page and link would be helpful.

Exact steps are as follows.  After google is loaded, say for eg, i want to save this as a bookmark, ctrl d it.  The usual box, with where do you want to save this bookmark in, does not appear.  After clicking on a link, to take me to another page, (on a different site), attempting to bookmark this page, it's saved to bookmarks. On occasions after doing this, the back / forward arrows are greyed out.  Please see attached screen dumps.

If I can help any more, please dont hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks

Nige

The behaviour that you are describing works for me. Don't forget that it is the new star button that takes care of bookmark now. The box for bookmarks is intentionally changed.

Reporter, thanks for the clarification of STR's. Verifying as works for me with latest nightly builds.
