Bug Description
In many of today's browser, it is possible to bookmark a javascript: URL . When clicking on such a bookmark, the javascript code snippet is executed within the context of the currently shown page.
Attempting to do this in the Ubuntu Phone web browser pops up a new tab with an about:blank page...
Bookmarklets would be handy to work around other deficiencies in the browser (such as lack of form autocompletion or password manager, bug #1516220): just have some javascript bookmark that fills in the required fields (I know, there are security implications, but for unimportant social networking sites this would be ok)
