Bookmarks (also called Favorites in some browsers) let you save a link to a page in the browser interface so you can easily revisit pages without having to remember the url, or search for them again. People will bookmark pages that they visit frequently, so that they don't have to type the url every time, or they'll bookmark pages with useful info that they might not go to often, so that they can find these pages quickly next time they need them.

In Firefox and Template:Seamonkey you can save your bookmarks to, or access them from the Bookmarks menu, or the Bookmarks Toolbar. You can also manage them from the Bookmarks manager. Firefox and Template:Seamonkey store your bookmarks in the file "bookmarks.html" located in the profile folder. There is a backup file called "bookmarks.bak" and, by default, Firefox versions 1.5 and higher also create five daily backup files called "bookmarks-(date).html".
