Are you using that bookmarklet (https://github.com/Rurik19/wallabagger) from @Rurik19 ?

I think its about that part of documentation.

By using a bookmarklet
On the Howto page, you have a Bookmarklet tab. Drag and drop the bag it! link to your bookmarks bar of your browser.
Now, each time you're reading an article on the web and you want to save it, click on the bag it! link in your bookmarks bar. The article is saved.

and indeed, in chrome that doesn't work

Here's my solution to this problem. Instead of opening a new window and closing it, just redirect to the add article URL:

javascript:var url=location.href||url;var wllbg=window.location.replace('https://url.com/web/bookmarklet?url=' + encodeURI(url));void(0);

I had the same problem in Firefox 47 and @nickian's workaround solved it!
