Sorry, I am unable to use that bookmarklet as I don't have a LinkedIn account. But in 'reading' the code in that bookmarklet i appears to be using deprecated code that won't work in newer versions of Firefox. My suggestion is to contact LinkedIn support about updating that bookmarklet.

As far as saving that bookmarklet, I had no problem dragging it unto the Bookmark Toolbar. And as you mentioned, a right-click and using "Bookmark This Link" worked, too. You may want to mention to LinkedIn support about that alternative method of saving a bookmarklet. That alternative has been available in Firefox since day one -- the right-click and save.
