Surprising. For me, that exact same bookmark works exactly the same as 
any other bookmark in my list. From a browser window, I select 
Bookmarks, mouse over the one in question, click, and it comes right up.

However, I can only copy passwords; I can't edit them. If it matters, 
I've never set a master password, so I'm never prompted to enter it. In 
case I change my password for a listed site, SM prompts me to update its 
list when I log in with the new one.

One thing I've noticed recently is that SM doesn't autofill my password 
for Google. It does autofill my username, but I have to go into the 
Password Manager, copy the password from there, and then paste it into 
Google's window. It worked fine for years, up until about two weeks ago.
