Ardent Google Reader and GMail users must be familiar with “starring” items. This is primarily used to “star” favorite posts or emails, to be read later and remove the “star”, once they’ve been read. So “starring” works more like a temporary bookmark.
How would you extend this concept to “starring” Web pages? Firefox 3 provides a nice feature to mark a particular web page to be read later and remove it from the list once read.
1. Go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks (Ctrl + Shift + B), and move the “Recently Bookmarked” under the “Bookmarks Toolbar” (This will enable easy access)
2. Once the Web page is open, Click once the “Star” button in the Address bar
3. Now you can find the web page added to the “Recently Bookmarked” menu in the “Bookmarks Toolbar”
4. Once done reading the page, Click on the “Star” button in the Address bar again and select “Remove Bookmark”
This will help you to “Star” web pages, read them later and easily remove them once done. Hope you find this tip useful.
