Test screen capture video - How to use FireFox one-click Bookmarks

I have created a test case screen capture illustrating how to use the one-click bookmark feature in FireFox 3. Let me know what you think of the screen capture video demonstration - this one is not narrated, which is a definite drawback. But if the video idea seems like it would be helpful, I will spring for a microphone!

FireFox One-click Bookmarking
With just one click you can bookmark your current page. Two clicks and you can customize the information about your bookmark.

Try it!

1. Open the PLUM page for requesting out of system ILLs2. Notice that the URL line contains a star at the right hand edge. Click on the star – you have just bookmarked the page. Easy!

3. Click on the Bookmarks menu option and select "Recently Bookmarked" - your page is listed there.

Now make it easier to find your bookmarks.

1. Click on the star - now colored yellow - again. This allows you to edit the bookmark: you can remove the bookmark, change the bookmark name, add it to a special folder, and add tags.

2. In the edit box:
  1. Change the name to Out of System ILL
  2. Open the folder select list
  3. Click Choose
  4. Click Bookmarks Menu
  5. Click New Folder, name it PLUM
  6. Add the tag ILL
  7. Click Done

Now click on the Bookmarks menu option. The folder PLUM is listed. Hold you cursor over it - your bookmark displays. Click "Recent Tags" - ILL is listed. Hold you cursor over it - your bookmark displays.
