Your frequently visited sites using Firefox

If you have some favorite sites that you like to check daily, Firefox will allow you to save a link as a bookmark for one-click access to local news, weather or your favorite online video shows and tutorials site (hint, hint). Today, we'll discuss how to use the Bookmarks within Firefox.

show notes

- When on a web site that you wish to bookmark, you can click the star icon in the Smart Location Bar to bookmark the page.

- The star icon turns yellow to confirm that the site has been added to your bookmarks.

- Clicking on the star again will bring up some simple bookmarking options. You can rename the bookmark, add it to an existing bookmark folder or create a new category and add tags to make the bookmark easy to find later.

Or:

- You can bookmark a page by clicking the right mouse button and selecting Bookmark This Page in the context menu that appears.

- Using the right-click method automatically brings up the Edit This Bookmark window so you can sort the bookmark into a folder and add descriptive tags.

- To access, organize and see other options for bookmarks, click on the Bookmarks entry in the Firefox menu bar.

- Drag and drop bookmarks to sort them into folders.

- In this menu, you can also view Recently Bookmarked sites or Recent Tags by hovering over the appropriate entries in the Bookmarks menu.

- Clicking on Organize Bookmarks allows for more refined control over your bookmarks.
