I got a little lost. We have 3 words at hand - Links, Favourites, and
Bookmarks. Which would you like to see where? :)

My perference is "Links" for the menu title and replace the bme with a
"Link Editor" or "Link Manager". Individual URLs stored by the user
would be called either "Bookmarks" or (now that you've pointed it out)
"Favourites". I agree that the word "Bookmark" probably doesn't have
that much mindshare for new Linux users, but it will for people moving
from Firefox to Epiphany.

Does this sound OK?

Example menu:

---------------------------------+
.... Go  Links  Tabs  Help       |
--------+-----+------------------+
        |     +-----------+
        | Add as Bookmark |   <---- could be "Add Favourite"
        | Add as Search   |
        | Add as Feed     |
        | Manage Links... |
        | --------------- |
        |                 |
        .                 .   <---- bookmarks menu hierarchy here
        .                 .
        |                 |
        +-----------------+

Perhaps drop the "as". Not sure.
