I've seen this question already multiple times: How to add a bookmark this page button. But it seems no solution is working currently.
The code im trying to use at the moment:
$('.js-bookmarkme').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (window.sidebar && window.sidebar.addPanel) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
window.sidebar.addPanel(document.title,window.location.href,'');
} else if(window.external && ('AddFavorite' in window.external)) { // IE Favorite
window.external.AddFavorite(location.href,document.title);
} else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
this.title=document.title;
return true;
} else { // webkit - safari/chrome
alert('Press ' + (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('mac') != - 1 ? 'Command/Cmd' : 'CTRL') + ' + D to bookmark this page.');
}
});

As stated in the comments:
Firefox's propriety window.sidebar.addPanel(..) has been deprecated, and the function was removed in Firefox 23 (see third bullet)

Supposedly the FF solution to date isn't working anymore, but the Opera solution isn't working either. (Though I wasn't able to test the IE solution yet).
That brings in the obvious question: How can you achive a Bookmarklet button? With browser support as far as possible.
Since there has been no solution this is the best I was able to come up with, after some research.
// Bookmark me
$('.js-bookmarkme').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var bookmarkURL = window.location.href;
var bookmarkTitle = document.title;
if ('addToHomescreen' in window && window.addToHomescreen.isCompatible) {
// Mobile browsers
addToHomescreen({ autostart: false, startDelay: 0 }).show(true);
} else if (window.sidebar && window.sidebar.addPanel) {
// Firefox version < 23
window.sidebar.addPanel(bookmarkTitle, bookmarkURL, '');
} else if ((window.sidebar && /Firefox/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) || (window.opera && window.print)) {
// Firefox version >= 23 and Opera Hotlist
$(this).attr({
href: bookmarkURL,
title: bookmarkTitle,
rel: 'sidebar'
}).off(e);
return true;
} else if (window.external && ('AddFavorite' in window.external)) {
// IE Favorite
window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkURL, bookmarkTitle);
} else {
// Other browsers (mainly WebKit - Chrome/Safari)
alert('Please press ' + (/Mac/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ? 'CMD' : 'Strg') + ' + D to add this page to your favorites.');
}
return false;
});
