Hi all,

There seems to be a nasty bug/omission in Jelly Bean for the Samsung Galaxy S2. I cannot add internet bookmarks to a home screen anymore.

If I click and hold on a bookmark the only option that looks vaguely like what I want is one that says "Add shortcut", but this does absolutely nothing when you click on it.

Good one Samsung. As usual your rubbish TouchWiz interface has broken one of the standard features.

If anyone can figure out how to do it please let us all know.

I am not familiar with the Samsung S2 but i beleive there may be a way of adding a shortcut to the home screen by long pressing your home screen and going to shortcuts? can you add bookmarks this way?
