Do browsers change URLs of saved bookmarks in response to 301 redirection?

redirection

HTTP status code 301 is used to indicate that content has moved permanently, and that the returned URL should be used to access the requested content in future.

Clients with link editing capabilities ought to automatically re-link references to the request-URI to one or more of the new references returned by the server, where possible.

Do any browsers actually implement this and change a bookmark's URL?
