>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
STR_1:
1. Open url  "data:,a"  then bookmark that page
2. In the same tab navigate to  "data:,b"  then bookmark that page
3. Click on star button to open bookmarks panel
4. Press Alt+Left to navigate back in tab history

AR:  Bookmarks panel displays info about bookmark "data:,b" on another bookmarked page - "data:,a"
ER:  Either X or Y
 X) Bookmarks panel should somehow indicate that it was opened for another url
 Y) Bookmarks panel should update its content to display new info

Notes:
1) Actually, "Pocket" or "Share this page" panels may have this bug ("bug"?) too, not sure. I'm not
   familiar with those two, but bookmarks panel has strong visual connection to the opened page.
   The toolbarbutton shows solid star if current url is bookmarked, and (at least for me) bookmarks
   panel opened from toolbarbutton displaying solid star is a clear indication that I'm viewing
   information about current bookmarked url. It appears, current UI is misleading
2) Displayed titles are unhelpful, because both bookmarks may have similar titles or titles that have
   some relation to content on the page, e.g. "Personal messages". Therefore I can't rely on the title
3) Option (Y) doesn't look good for me, because I don't want to loose
   carefully opened bookmark panel with all the changes I made
