78 Chapter 6. Web Browsing
Figure 6-2. Navigation Toolbar
Enter a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) — the name or address of a web site — into the address
field. Firefox moves immediately to the web site.
The Search field uses the most popular search engines to look for sites related to the keywords you
enter. Select the search engine Firefox should use by clicking on the icon at the left of the field. Enter
the keywords and press [Enter] to perform the search.
Figure 6-3. Search field
Firefox has a sidebar to aid in navigation. Select View => Sidebar form the main Firefox toolbar,
then choose the detail to display. You can choose from your bookmarks or the history of websites you
have visited.
Finally, the Personal Toolbar can be customized with the web sites that you visit most often. Web
sites added to this toolbar become buttons — one click, and Firefox moves to that web site. To add a
site to the Personal Toolbar, drag the site's icon from the address field to the Toolbar.

6.1.2. Tabbed Browsing
Firefox offers tabbed browsing. Tabbed browsing allows a user to flip quickly between web pages
without opening another instance of Firefox. Right-click a link and choose Open Link in New Tab
to use this feature. Open a new tab by selecting File => New Tab or by pressing [Ctrl]-[T].
