Silly Workaround:

It's a silly way to do that, but currently my workaround is using SingleFileZ addon. Its main purpose is archiving pages fully, but it has two relevant options: auto-saving bookmarks and auto-closing saved pages.

So, in effect, I get global automatic closing on any bookmarking.

Pros:

  • it already exists
  • you get full-page achieving, optionally even to google drive
  • it's free software (AGPL3), so source code of those two options can be used as a starting point for programming requested feature into this or other addon.

Caveats:

  • does not allow for editing bookmarks when using URL bar button (star) because it closes too quickly (maybe there is a way about it, by delaying saving or smth, idk)
  • complex options screen
  • if used with Livemarks, or any other addon which automatically adds bookmarks — you'll constantly get all of those pages opened in new tabs briefly
  • it's a heavy-handed approach to install another addon with minor feature which you need, if you don't need its main feature
