Use keywords to refine Bookmarks

Rather than organising your Bookmarks in folders, there is a quicker way of going straight back to a favourite website, as Mr Bradbury has found using Keywords

Add a couple of characters to the Keyword box to simplify a search

There is another way to organise Firefox bookmarks as well as putting them in folders. Adding keywords lets you go straight to a website just by typing the keyword into the address bar.

Click on the Firefox button, Bookmarks and then Show all Bookmarks. Click on a bookmark and then on the More button. Click in the Keyword box and type a word to launch that page – try ‘ca’ for Computeractive for example.

The keyword option is shown in the window that appears when you create a new bookmark.
