Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Mozilla Firefox version 3

Step 1

Open your Firefox browser, and bookmark one of your favorite websites. To bookmark a website, type it into the address bar and then click the star icon on the right side of the address bar.
Step 2

Go to the bookmarked site. The clear star that is normally on the right side of the bar is now yellow.
Step 3

Click the yellow star. A little window will pop up that says "Edit Bookmark" There will be a field where you can add or edit tags.
Step 4

Add or edit tags in the field and then click done. Once you have your tags, they will instantly be accessible from the Menu bar. For example, if you made a "shopping" tag for amazon.com and bluefly.com, both of those will show up instantly the next time you type "shopping" in the address bar.

Tips & Warnings

If you have a lot of bookmarks that all under one heading, try using two and three-letter combinations for specific sites. For example. if you have Wikipedia and Ehow under the reference tag, try giving them a "wki" and "eh" tags respectively so you can get to the individual site you want quickly without scrolling through all your reference sites (or typing the address out completely).
