From DFS, the following namespace is seen:

In this namespace, there is a folder named publicdownload, which makes the full path in the bookmark is:

In this example, it is referring to the local shared folder:
//win2012-srv1.jason/publicdownload             ----> Local_Server path not DFS path
In case domain controller (Domain name"win2012-srv1.jason" = server name "DFS") ->
\\win2012-srv1.jason\publicdownload      same as     \\DFS\publicdownload
