Ok, tried that and it worked.  This is the +Shaare menu entry in the
menu at the top with the green background.  I had to copy/paste the url
into the field that popped up.

Mmm... I don't see a green star.  I see a blue star, which at first I
thought was the regular way that firefox saves a bookmark in its own
internal structure, but when clicking on it it drops down a mini-screen
with the freedombox logo, with the usl already filled in.  Even though
the "Show editor when saving" is checked, clicking "Save" does nothing.

When I try to save other urls that have already been saved, I normally get
the regular page with "Edit Shaare" instead of "New Shaare".

This blue star method doesn't work with other pages that have already
been saved.  It doesn't work with new pages either.  Testing as I write
this...

The + Shaare link button which is on the bookmarks toolbar always works,
with the exception of the one link (https://docs.freedombox.org).

Firefox 102.4.0esr-1-deb11u1, from Debian stable.

The tags, when it works, work fine.

Same here.

Same here.

Pretty similar.  Older firefox here but at least the boomkarks toolbar
button works reliably except for the one link that caused me to write the
original post.  Since I now have the other method (the +Shaare on the
green menu of the shaarli page itself) that has worked with the one url
that didn't with the bookmarks toolbar button, crisis averted.

It is strange that the blue star method doesn't work at all.

Thanks for replying.  Now I know there is an alternative way that worked
with this recalcitrant url.
