There are several methods of bookmarking pages (or files) to choose from and most people will take advantage and appreciate a choice of different methods depending on the situation.

Shortcuts

  • Keyboard shortcuts
    • "Ctrl+D" to bookmark the current page, or to type in a bookmark
    • "Ctrl+Shift+D" to bookmark all tabs, or with an extension to bookmark selected tabs
  • Mouse shortcuts -- a bookmark folder may be in the Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Unsorted Bookmarks
    • Drag Link to a bookmark folder
    • Drag location bar favicon to a position within bookmark folder
    • Ctr+Drag to duplicate a bookmark

    • "Add Bookmark Here..." (added by an extension)
    • "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D)
    • "Subscribe to This Page"
    • "Bookmark all Tabs..." (Ctrl+Shift+D)

Star button

Star button. The new star button (Firefox 3) in the location bar lets you quickly add a new bookmark with a single click. A second click brings up the Bookmark dialog to let you file and tag your new bookmark. [1]

  • Click on the star in the Location bar to bookmark a page or bring up the Bookmarks dialog

Change a bookmark

  • Right-click on a link to bring up bookmark properties. This method can be used to create a new bookmark from an unwanted bookmark.

Copy bookmark

  • Copy ("Ctrl+C") a Bookmark within a folder and paste ("Ctrl+V") to same or another bookmark folder.

Syncing bookmarks
