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

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu RTM:

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:

  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). Ideally we'd also strip the
  protocol, to keep things cleaner.

  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.
