I have three problems. One is, as my title, I have to do Ctrl D two times to have "Edit Bookmark". The second is, frequently, the link that I open in another tab reaches nothing. Sometimes, reenter it in the tab (and press Enter) works, sometimes not. Sometimes, enter it in another tab works, sometimes not. When it works in another tab, the link appears in the first tab also. The third annoying thing is not necessarily related to you. Sometimes, when I try to open a Youtube link in another tab with the middle mouse button, the tab don't open.

The "Edit This Bookmark" dialog that opens if you click the highlighted star has a checkbox with "Show editor when saving" (shortcut key in the dialog is Alt+S). This item is at the bottom just above "Remove Bookmark" and "Done". You can click the highlighted star a second time to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog.

See "How do I change the name or location of a bookmark?"
