Heres the best thing I can find, since there is no good solution for Firefox except having it load in the sidebar which is useless.

This script will do the bookmark is all browsers, in Firefox, it can't bookmark it but if the user is using Firefox when they click the link, a box will appear telling them to press ctrl + D.

I have it working on my website News Dots / Published Dots top right hand corner.

Add this file to your root:

add_bookmark.js

// to make multiple links, do something like this:

  f();
  f('otherContainerID');

*/

// below is an example of how to make an image link with this
// the first parameter is the ID. If you pass an empty string it defaults to
// 'addBookmarkContainer'.
/*
dss_addEvent(window,'load',function(){
  addBookmarkObj.addImageLink('','/');

*/

Place this link anywhere on your page:

<p id="addBookmarkContainer"></p><p id="addBookmarkContainer"></p>

Looks like the best option right now.
