For example, suppose you begin the day by reading the news on five different news Web sites. You could quickly access all five sites by opening


your news folder in the Bookmarks menu and choosing Open in Tabs. Then, when it comes time to begin work, you could instantly access all your work-related resources by opening your work folder and choosing Open in Tabs. This option always appears at the bottom of the folder's bookmark list, as shown in Figure 5-8. If you use the Bookmarks Sidebar or the Bookmarks Toolbar rather than the menu, you can still access this feature by right-clicking the folder and choosing Open in Tabs. Figure 5-8: Open multiple bookmarks with the Open in Tabs command. REMEMBER When you open multiple bookmarks at once in Firefox, Firefox loads the bookmarks in any tabs you already have open, thus replacing the Web sites you're viewing. If you open more bookmarks than you have tabs open, Firefox opens additional tabs. Opening bookmarks With keywords If you prefer using the keyboard over the mouse, be sure to assign brief keywords to your bookmarks and use those keywords to access the bookmarks from the Location Bar. For example, if you bookmark Blockbuster's Web site, you might assign the bookmark a keyword of bb. You could then type bb into the Location Bar at any time to go instantly to http://www.blockbuster.com.   Using multiple bookmarks as your home pages Instead of using a single home page, you can have several home pages by setting Firefox to open multiple bookmarks whenever you start Firefox. The condition is that they all have to be in the same folder. Here's how you set up this option: 1. The Options window appears. 2. Click the General icon at the top of the window if it isn't already selected. 3. Under Home Page, click the Use Bookmark button. The Set Home Page window appears. 4. Select the folder that contains the bookmarks you want Firefox to load on startup. 5. Click OK to close the Set Home Page window. 6. Click OK to close the Options window. The next time you open a Firefox window or click the Home button on the main Firefox toolbar, the bookmarks in the selected folder open in tabs.     Here's how you assign a keyword to a bookmark: 1. Right-click the bookmark to which you want to assign a keyword and choose Properties. The bookmark's Properties window appears. You can do this from the Bookmarks Sidebar, the Bookmarks Manager, or the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you're using Windows, you can also right-click the bookmark in the Bookmarks menu. 2. In the Keyword text box, enter the keyword you want to use (for example, bb). 3. Click OK to close the Properties window. 4. Try out your new keyword by typing it into the Firefox Location Bar and then press Enter. REMEMBER You can't specify a keyword for a bookmark from the Add Bookmark window. You must open the bookmark's properties after adding it. Opening bookmarks in a sidebar Have you ever come across a Web site that feels too lightweight to be taking up so much room on your screen? If you've bookmarked a sports site, should you really need to leave the site you're currently viewing and load an entire Web page just to see the latest score of the basketball game? In Firefox, you can
