How do I change the name and location of a bookmark?

1. To edit the details of your bookmark, click the star a second time to open the Edit This Bookmark window.

   

   • In the Edit This Bookmark box you can change any of these details:
     • Name: This is the name that Firefox displays for the bookmark in menus.
     • Folder: Choose what folder to store your bookmark in by picking one from the drop-down menu (for example, the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Toolbar). In that drop-down menu you can also select Choose... to display a list of all bookmarks folders.
     • Tags: You can use tags to help you search through and organize your bookmarks. For more information, see Bookmark Tags - Categorize bookmarks to make them easy to find.
2. When you are finished editing, click Done to close the box.

Where can I find my bookmarks?

The easiest way to find a site that you've bookmarked is to start typing its name in the address bar. As you type a list of websites that you've bookmarked, tagged and visited will appear. Bookmarked sites will have a yellowblue star next to them. All you have to do is click one of the sites and you'll be taken there instantly.

How do I organize my bookmarks?

The Library window lets you view and organize all your bookmarks.

1. Click the menu button to open the menu panel. Click Bookmarks and then click the Manage bookmarks bar at the bottom.

   

2. By default, the bookmarks you make will be located in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder. Select it in the sidebar of the Library window to see the bookmarks you've made. Double-clicking a bookmark will open it.

While you have the Library window open, you can also drag bookmarks into other folders like the Bookmarks Menu folder which will show your bookmarks in the menu under the Bookmarks button. If you add bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder they'll show up on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
