In this tutorial I'm going to setup some bookmarked tags for websites in Firefox 3, and then use those tags to search for those bookmarks. So I'm at the TechTutor.tv website right now and you could see by the field and star that I do already have this setup as a bookmark, if I click this again, and then it will go to more details. Now if you need more help about actually—with actually setting up a bookmark, then you can see the tutorial bookmark or website with bookmark stars and that will help you out.
So, I'm going to leave everything down here as it is and down here, you could see that I have some tags that I've already setup. I type in screencast tech tutor tutorials, videos. Let’s say I want to add a few other tags, I could do Photoshop, Microsoft Illustrator and so on, how many ever tags that I want. I'm going to press Done, and so that’s how you can setup your tags. Now, the most important part, how you use those tags once they're setup, there’s basically two different ways that you could do that. I'm going to go to bookmarks and then to organize bookmarks and it’s going to bring up my library. If I click on tags, I can view all the tags that I have setup for my bookmarks. I could go in here and I could delete them just by right-clicking. I could move it around. What I want to do is click on all bookmarks and then go up to search bookmarks. And here is where I can put in one of my tags. I’ll put in screencast and press the Enter key and it will show all the bookmarks that have that as a tag. Now also, if there is a title of a bookmark, like a bookmark that you already have and you didn’t set any tags for, it’s going to go ahead and pick up those keywords from the title of the bookmark and use those as tags as well. So for instance if I put in videos, I'm going to actually get some other ones that I don’t have tagged yet but it has video in the title.
So I'm going to go ahead and go back to screencast. In this way I could go to those websites, I could do anything I needed to do with websites that have the screencast tag on them. I'm going to close this and I'm going to go up to the smart location bar, highlight my URL and here I could just simply type in a tag, screencast. Now I got several options here if I finish typing the word, I can tell this as a bookmark that I have tagged because you’ll see this tag in the description and you can see the star and that it’s a bookmark. I'm going to ahead and click on it and it will take me to TechTutor.tv. So that’s how you can setup and use bookmark tags in Firefox 3.
