Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>When you come across a website on your Android phone that you want to bookmark, just tap the menu button (at the bottom of your screen) and then tap the Star button. The star will turn yellow to let you know the site has been added to your bookmarks. <a title=\"Tablet Bookmarks\" href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/kb\/getting-started-firefox-android-tablet-browser#w_how-do-i-find-my-bookmarks-and-history\" target=\"_blank\">For instructions on bookmarks for your tablet, see this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/theden\/files\/2012\/09\/Androidbookmark.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-726\" title=\"Androidbookmark\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/theden\/files\/2012\/09\/Androidbookmark.png\" alt=\"Bookmark on Android\" width=\"280\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/theden\/files\/2012\/09\/Androidbookmark.png 280w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/theden\/files\/2012\/09\/Androidbookmark-252x450.png 252w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a>To find that bookmark again, just tap the title bar and tap Bookmarks. Can that get any easier?!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take it a time-saving step further. You have a website that you use more often than any other \u2014 like your webmail or social networking site. You can save a bookmark for that site to the main screen of your Android device, so now it\u2019s only one tap away. First, bookmark the site as described above. Now, tap the title bar and tap Bookmarks to locate the site. Once you see the bookmark you\u2019re looking for, long tap that bookmark (and by long tap, we mean put your finger on it and hold it a little longer than you normally would).<\/p>\n<p>When the menu appears, select \u201cAdd to Home Screen.\u201d If you select that option, you will now have a shortcut on your home screen to that site. Yay for shaving seconds off your day!<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also notice from that menu that you have the option to share a bookmark \u2014 because you know all of your friends will want to see that funny video. You could also remove it, should you decide you\u2019ve had enough of that site and don\u2019t need it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know the best part about bookmarks in Firefox for Android? You can sync them with your home (or wherever) computer. So if you\u2019ve bookmarked your favorite sites on one device, you can access them on another, without going through all the steps! <a title=\"Sync\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/theden\/2012\/09\/04\/4-easy-steps-to-get-your-desktop-experience-on-your-android-phone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Make sure you read this article on how to Sync<\/a> to make full use of this feature.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to share this information with your friends using the share buttons below so they\u2019ll know how to use bookmarks, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bookmarks: They\u2019re not just for your computer anymore.
