How do I stop a web site from trying to create a bookmark?

There's a site that tries to create a bookmark every time I click a particular item on the (flash-based) page, and this frequently causes plugin-container.exe to hang and freeze the entire browser. Is there a way I can prevent the site from trying to create a bookmark?

Hard to say without seeing the source code for the page involved. I don't recall ever coming across a web page that did that, unless the hyperlink was coded for "bookmark this page".
