Web Browser Tips — Part 1

A Web browser is a software program you use to read Web pages. Two common Web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox.

During the course, you may need to use the Web browser features listed below.

Remember a Web Page for Later

If you want to come back to a Web page later, your Web browser can save (remember) the Web page’s address.

Internet Explorer calls these saved addresses favorites. Firefox and many other Web browsers call them bookmarks.

Internet Explorer

To save a Web page for later, click the Favorites menu, then click Add to Favorites....

Internet Explorer will suggest a name for the favorite. You can change the name or leave it alone. Press OK when you are happy with the name. The Web address is now saved as a favorite.

When you want to return to the Web page you saved, start Internet Explorer, click the Favorites menu, and choose the favorite you want. The Web page will load.

Firefox

To save a Web page for later, click the Bookmarks menu, then click Bookmark this Page....

Firefox will suggest a name for the bookmark. You can change the name or leave it alone. Press OK when you are happy with the name. The Web address is now saved as a bookmark.

When you want to return to the Web page, start Firefox, click the Bookmarks menu, and choose the bookmark you want from the list. The Web page will load.
