Chapter 5: Bookmarking Great Sites Firefox strives to make the Web easy to use for everyone, but it can't avoid one aspect of the Web: the complicated addressing system. Suppose your friend Julie maintains a Web site at http://www.therosenbergfamily.com/julie/start.html, and you visit it frequently to see how she's doing. Why should you have to remember such a long and seemingly absurd string of letters? Why should you need to recall that the j in Julie is lowercase, contrary to what you were taught in school? You shouldn't. And although Firefox can't do away with such addresses altogether, it can remember them so you don't have to. Like many other browsers, Firefox allows you to bookmark a Web site so you can easily return to it later on - much as you would bookmark pages in a book. In the Internet Explorer browser, these bookmarks are called Favorites. Firefox also offers sophisticated but easy-to-use organizational tools to keep your bookmarks in order whether you have 5 or 500. Creating and Accessing Bookmarks Bookmarking a Web page is about as easy as bookmarking a page in a book. You just need to tell Firefox what to call the bookmark and where you want to put it. By default, bookmarks appear in a list accessible from either the Bookmarks menu or the Bookmarks Sidebar, which is a small panel that opens on the left side of the screen (see the section "The Bookmarks Sidebar," later in this chapter). However, you can also organize bookmarks into folders and subfolders so you can access them in a manner that suits you. Creating a bookmark To bookmark an interesting Web site, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the Web site you want to bookmark. 2. Tip You can open this window more quickly by pressing Ctrl+D (Windows) or +D (Mac). 3. In the Name text box, enter the name you would like to use for the bookmark or accept the default name that appears there. The name will appear in the Bookmarks menu and in the Bookmarks Sidebar. By default, Firefox uses the title of the Web site you're bookmarking as the name, as shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1: Bookmark sites to return to them quickly. 4. Select the folder in which you'd like to place the bookmark by using one of the following methods: Select a folder from the Create In drop-down list. This list contains the last five folders in which you filed a bookmark. If you don't see the folder you want, or if you want to create a new folder, click the button next to the Create In list (the down arrow, as shown in Figure 5-1). The full list of folders appears. Select the one you want to use or click the New Folder button at the bottom to create a new folder. The folder is created within whichever folder you selected.
