Bookmarks
Have you ever found a website you wanted to view later, only to realize that you didn't remember the web address when the time came? Bookmarks are a great way to save and organize specific websites so you can revisit them again and again.
In this lesson, we'll talk about how to add bookmarks to Firefox, how to manage and organize your bookmarks and folders, and how to import bookmarks from another browser.
To add a bookmark:
- Click the Star in the address bar to save the current page as a bookmark. By default, new bookmarks are saved to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
Bookmarking a website - If you want to choose a different name or folder for the bookmark, click the Star again. You can then click Choose to select a different folder for the bookmark. When you're finished, click Done.
Choosing a new location for the bookmark
Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+D on your keyboard, or Command+D if you're using a Mac.
Using bookmarks
Once you've bookmarked a website, there are several ways to open the bookmark.
- The address bar: As you begin typing in the address bar, any bookmarks matching the text will appear with the Star icon. Simply click a bookmark to open it.
Opening a bookmark from the address bar - The Bookmarks button: Click the Bookmarks button to see all of your bookmarks. You can hover the mouse over Recently Bookmarked to access any bookmarks you've saved recently.
Using the Bookmarks button - The Bookmarks Toolbar: If you have certain sites you access frequently, you can save them to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder for quick access. Just click the Bookmarks button, then select View Bookmarks Toolbar to turn on the toolbar.
Turning on the Bookmarks Toolbar - Bookmark folders: If you have many different bookmarks about one topic, you might consider creating different folders to keep them organized, just as you would organize different files on your computer. We'll discuss various ways to organize your bookmarks into folders over the next few pages.
