Can you see the "b" choice in the capture menu?

I tried it with a minimal init.el, setting org-capture-templates as you describe
(and creating the ancillary structures as needed). Saving a link with `C-c l'
and then interactively calling org-capture and selecting the "b" template,
saves the link into ~/org/bookmarks.org.

I did not try with org-protocol.
