Bookmark? Watching something? Site? Aren't you talking about a browser, not an operating system? Whole different beast entirely.

So: which browser?

You can save/over write the one you want, and later save the home page.

Or just give it a different name if you don't want to over write the one already in your book marks. Mary

Sorry, I don't understand, how to write over one already in my book mark list.
I don't understand a whole lot about computer language.

What I am referring to is in my browser Firefox at the top of the screen is something called bookmarks. I an address to a site that I like to go to.

Like for example That homesite I just click on the book mark to come here. If I wanted to save for example the link directly to gardening it would bring up that page I wouldn't need to go look for it.

I know how to get around on this site as I have been coming here since almost day one. Even back when for awhile we had to pay to use this site.

When you click to bookmark a page doesn't a little box show up with name already on one line and below that a line showing what folder it's going into (if you have folders created)?

You can highlight the name and then type in any name you wish (it will overwrite the highlighted name and replace it).

I don't use Firefox so hope this isn't confusing you. Many browsers have 'tabs'. I think Firefox does. They are wonderful. Saves the exact page you're on.

Here is a link that might be useful: info page on Mozilla Firefox Tabs

No it does not show up. I will check out your Firefox link Thank you.

I bookmarked this thread two different ways.

{{gwi:1488755}}

For one, I used "Bookmarks->Bookmark This page" (Ctrl-D) to create a bookmark in my "Bookmarks Menu". I also dragged the URL from the "Location Bar" and dropped it onto my "Bookmarks Toolbar".

Although I used the same page, (this thread), for both, they could have just as easily have been different Gardenweb threads.

As long as the "Location" (which is taken from the URL in the Location Bar) is different for each Bookmark, each will take me to a different page.

However...

Sometimes If I am watching something or left a post I like to save the exact page that I need to go to in a file folder to check back.

If you're on certain sites/pages, you may not be able to bookmark it the way you want. For example, http://www.tvland.com/video-clips or http://www.msnbc.com/first-look.

In both cases you go to the page, you watch a few clips, perhaps look through the video playlist and click one, decide you'll watch the rest later so bookmark it but it doesn't remember which one you watched last. Why? Because as you navigated, or let it play on its own, the URL in the "Location Bar" remains the same, so any bookmark you create will remain the same.

Truthfully though, I don't have a clear picture of exactly what you're trying to do so I can recreate the problem. An example site or two might really help. :)

Which version of Firefox are you using?
Are your bookmarks organized into different folders?
Describe your steps to bookmark a new item.
Describe your steps to use a bookmark.

To where are you placing these bookmarks?

In the Bookmarks list in Firefox?

Or to the Windows desktop or a folder thereon?
