Geek Tip:Did you know that you can quickly access your Firefox bookmarks simply by assigning keywords? To do so, go to your Bookmarks menu, right-click on the bookmark and select Properties. When that window opens, you can assign a shortcut to the bookmark. Let's say you have Tucows bookmarked. Just assign the letter "t" in the Keyword box, and click OK. The next time you want to visit Tucows, just type the letter "t" in the address bar and press Enter. Voila! You can use any variety of keywords or letters as shortcuts to your favorite bookmarks this way!
