In Firefox, you can create \emph{bookmarks}, which are saved in the web browser and which you can use to navigate back to your picked web pages.

After navigating to a web page you can save its location by bookmarking it.

Press \keystroke{Ctrl+D}. A pop-up will appear. Provide a descriptive name for the bookmark, and click on the \button{Done} button.

Whenever you are browsing the web, Firefox is saving your browsing history. This allows you to come back to a web page that you have recently visited, without needing to remember the page's \acronym{URL}, or even bookmarking it.

Click on one of the date categories in the sidebar to expand it. Then it will reveal the pages you visited during that period. Then, once you find the page you need, click on its title to return to it.

At times, you may want to delete all private data that Firefox stores about your browsing history. While this data is stored only on your computer, you may want to remove it if you share access to your computer.

If you would like more control over what you clear, click on the \button{Details} text to display a list of options.

If you install a different web browser on your computer, you may want to use it as the default browser when you click on links from emails, instant messages, and other places.
