[BUG] org-manual: Using bookmarklet for org-capture is no longer reliable (was: Firefox permission dialog and org-protocol)

This is bad news.

17.16.2 The ‘capture’ protocol section of Org manual recommends

       To use this feature, add a bookmark with an arbitrary name, e.g.,
    ‘Org: capture’, and enter this as ‘Location’:
    
         javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?' +
               new URLSearchParams({
                     template: 'x', url: window.location.href,
                     title: document.title, body: window.getSelection()});

With the annoying Firefox dialogue, things get very annoying.
Even though I do understand the motivation of devs.
But they broke bookmarklets :'(
