Understood.

We should definitely  let users bookmark pages before they finish
loading.

I think in cases where the page isn't yet known, we can use the URL as the bookmark name/ in place of a page title (I believe bookmarks currently work this way already).
--- --- ---
Also, when I experimented with this yesterday I found that the interval before page loading is considered to have failed was very long (certainly long enough to appear to 'never finish loading'):

1. Enter URL for large website with lots of images (e.g. theverge.com).
2. Before page loads, switch to airplane mode.
3. Page loading appears to continue without end.
4. 'Favourite/Star' icon is never shown in address bar


Recommended behaviour:  
1. Enter URL for large website with lots of images (e.g. theverge.com).
2. Before page loads, switch to airplane mode.
3. After a reasonable period (15-30 seconds) 'Network Error' page is shown.
4. 'Favourite/Star' icon is available in address bar throughout.

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.
