00:00 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Organizing Bookmarks and Printing in Mozilla Firefox.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn about Bookmarks.
00:11 We will also learn how to: Organize Bookmarks, set up the Firefox page, Preview and Print it.
00:18 Here we are using Firefox 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04.
00:26 Let us open the Firefox browser.
00:29 By default, the yahoo home page opens.
00:32 Bookmarks help you navigate to pages that you use often.
00:37 We had learnt a little bit about Bookmarks in an earlier tutorial.
00:42 We had also added a bookmark for gmail there.
00:46 Let’s click on this to open the gmail home page.
00:50 You are directed to the gmail home page.
00:53 Did you notice the yellow star on the right of the gmail address, in the Address bar?
00:59 This indicates that this site has been bookmarked.
01:03 You can also use the star to change the name of a bookmark and store it in a different folder.
01:09 Let’s change the name of gmail to mygmailpage and store it in a new folder named MyNewBookmarks.
01:18 In the Address bar, click on the yellow star.
01:22 The Edit This Bookmark dialog box appears.
01:25 In the Name field, enter mygmailpage.
01:29 Click on the Folder drop-down and select Choose.
01:34 Select Bookmarks menu and click on New folder.
01:39 A New Folder is created.
01:41 Rename this folder MyBookmarks.
01:45 In Tags, type: email.
01:49 Tags help us categorize bookmarks.
01:52 You can associate a number of tags with a bookmark.
01:55 For example, when you bookmark a shopping site,
01:58 You might tag it with the words gifts, books or toys.
02:03 Click Done.
02:06 Alternately, you can also press the Ctrl and D keys
02:09 to bookmark the page.
02:12 From the Menu bar, click on Bookmarks.
02:16 The MyBookMarks folder is displayed in the Bookmarks menu.
02:20 Place the cursor on the folder.
02:23 The mygmailpage bookmark is saved there.
02:27 Now, in the Address bar, type the tag "email".
02:31 Notice that the site mygmailpage is displayed as the first option on the list.
02:38 So, we have renamed the bookmark, saved it in another folder and located it using a tag!
02:45 Now, let’s bookmark the www dot google dot com website. <Pause>
02:53 In the Address bar, select the address and delete it.
02:56 Now type www dot google dot com
03:01 Press Enter.
03:03 Now, from the right corner of the Address bar, click on the star.

03:12 In the same manner, let’s bookmark four more sites Spoken Tutorial, Yahoo, Firefox Add-ons and Ubuntu .
03:36 Notice that we have not saved these bookmarks to a folder.
03:40 And how do we delete a bookmark we created?

04:03 From the Edit This Bookmark dialog box, click the Remove Bookmark button.
04:09 From Menu bar, click on Bookmarks and MyBookmarks.

04:26 The easiest way to access a site that you bookmarked is to type the name in the Address bar.
04:33 Click on the Address bar, select the address displayed and delete it.
04:39 Now, in the Address bar, type the letter G.
