Yes, though if you're accustomed to the old firmware it's a bit confusing at first to use the new version. You touch once which pops down a list of bookmarks, which happens to include the page you're on and draws an unfilled bookmark symbol at the top of the page, so when you first use it it appears that it has added the bookmark. If you then click away, there's no bookmark. To actually add it you have to hit the little + symbol in the current bookmark entry in the list, which closes the list and fills in the bookmark symbol. If you click on any other entry it shows you a preview of that location in a window, which you can then click in to jump to that bookmark. To clear a bookmark (including the current page), you select it from the list (the current page's bookmark is preselected when you open the list) and then press the X symbol next to the entry.
It's actually quite a good system, once you get used to it, but it did take me a few minutes to figure it out at first. It wasn't immediately clear that it didn't just add a bookmark to the current page like it used to. I understand why it doesn't; the bookmark hotspot at the top of the screen has been repurposed for calling up the bookmark interface, not for adding/clearing the bookmark.
