 On iOS Safari the "Press This" Bookmarklet has to be pressed twice to
 work, it creates a new Safari window, but the new window remains hidden
 behind the current window. The user is unaware that this new window has
 been created.

 In addition, the new hidden window is BLANK the first time the "Press
 This" bookmarklet is pressed, you then need to press the Bookmarklet a
 second time (from the main window), and then the second window gets
 populated properly.

 To summarize: on iOS (9 and earlier) Safari

 1 - "Press This" bookmarklet creates a new window when pressed once, but
 that window remains hidden behind the current safari window

 2 - The new window is not only hidden, but is also blank. No URL is
 selected, it's just a new popup blank window

 3 - You have to press the "Press This" bookmarklet a second time (from the
 original main window) to get the second window to be properly populated.

 4 - Even after the second press of the bookmarklet, the new window still
 remains hidden behind the main Safari window. The user has no idea that
 anything has occurred, so the user thinks the bookmarklet is not working
 at all.

 This issue has been happening since Press This received the major overhaul
 earlier this year.

 Thanks!
