Tip: Use keywords in FireFox address bar

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo @ 7:05 am

All the users who are surfing the net have their own favorite sites. Usually you create a bookmark for the sites you visit the most. But as your list of site grows finding the right bookmark in the midst of dozens of bookmarks might not be as fast as you’d like.
Fortunately modern browsers allow you to assign a keyword to a site, and by typing the keyword in the address bar will take you to the site.

To assign a keyword in FireFox follow these steps.

1. Create a bookmark of your favorite site. (If it does not already exist).
2. Find the bookmark in the menu and right click on it
3. Select Properties.
4. In the properties window fill in the field “Keyword”.
5. Click OK.

Now every time you’ll type the keyword in the address bar the browser will take you to the site.
