You are right that it's not possible directly through the app.

However, there are some workarounds you can use to get at these activity frames for now:

1. With the toolbox open, click the "gear" icon and enable "select an iframe as the currently targeted document" under "toolbox buttons"
2. You may need to close the toolbox first before proceeding
3. Debug the System app instead of Bookmarks
4. Click the new "frame dropdown" in the top-right of the toolbox
5. Choose app://bookmark.gaiamobile.org/save.html

We hope to make this easier in the future.
