You can view your list of favorite websites using a special icon on AOL's toolbar. This toolbar also lets you visit the bookmarked websites, edit items in the list or export your favorites to a backup file. The feature also displays a small icon on each browser window and provides a shortcut to add the currently active website to your favorites.
