The concept of bookmarking a page is a feature of the browser. This is really outside the scope of what Selenium was created for.

That said, you can create a test which is equivalent to bookmarking. If we look at how saving a bookmark work, it saves the current URL. Using a bookmark is just taking the saved bookmark and pasting it into the address bar. In Selenium we have the following:'

// save 'bookmark'

String bookmark = driver.getCurrentUrl();

To use this bookmark would then be:

// use 'bookmark'

driver.get(bookmark);

So if you have a test case where you have to save a bookmark you can use the above code. If you need to use that bookmark then you can use the second piece of code. If using this works and we assume the browser's bookmark feature works then it would be a pass.

Please try this 

Webdriver test = new FireFoxDriver();

test.get("URL");

Actions bookmark=new Actions(test);

bookmark.contextClick(test.findElement(Location Strategy))).sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CTRL, "D").build().perform();

darrell has a good point about testing bookmarking. It is kind of pointless, although there is a case of testing javascript-based bookmarklets, and verifying those work as intended. Those bookmarklets do some special things and differ from normal bookmarking.
