Maybe the fields at the bottom of the screen do need a Save button?
Of course switching to another bookmark would still auto-save, but manual save
would be useful for this case. Potentially confusing though ("do I need to save or not?")

Better idea: it's not the toolbar button that's the problem (e.g. if it doesn't switch
to another bookmark or close the window). So how about having the auto-save happen
just before the bottom fields show the values for another bookmark, or are being destroyed
(due to closing the window)? What do I miss?
