That sounds almost right, but for this detail: when the connection is
lost, the loading will eventually time out, so the "page never finishes
loading" is not really a use case. However it could happen that a page
takes a very long time to load, and the user might want to bookmark the
page before it finishes loading.

Note that when bookmarking a page before it finishes loading, or when it
has failed to load, it is possible that the title of the page (which is
the default value for the name of the bookmark) isn’t known (yet). Not
much we can do about it, but something to keep in mind if we choose to
allow bookmarking a page when it hasn’t finished loading.

Title:
  [Browser] Cannot favorite site when it is loading

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Won't Fix
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Simple bug but annoying:

  When a site is loading, the favourite star is not visible.

  Use-case:
  you get a website from a friend, or you click a link on a page when the network suddenly goes away. You want to save that page to look at it later, when your connection comes back. This is not possible because you can only bookmark pages after they're fully loaded.

  UX Comment:
  Having tried to reproduce the above use-case, I found the following:
  1. Attempted to visit a URL with no active connection.
  2. 'Network Error' page is shown.
  3. User may still tap star to favourite entered URL.

  In the 'look at it later' use case described above, the user will
  still been able to favourite the URL for later use.

  In the absence of any other use-cases where this may cause a problem,
  I believe the current behaviour (intended  to address the fact that
  'one usually wants to bookmark the final location') is still valid.
